Nice image! I have a question for you if you don't mind. I see you use PI to process, as do I, but I am having trouble with the cal.fits files TL is now using. Can I ask how you deal with these files to do WBPP? I was told Image Solver then stack, but it's not working well on my computer. Thank you! Leslie Chaks

Hi Leslie,

The only issue I’ve had with TL data is the Astrometric Solution step, but you can do that after WBPP. I mostly use the default WBPP settings but uncheck Astrometric Solution and Auto Crop.

Following Warren Keller’s advice, I handle Image Solver, SPCC, and Dynamic Crop manually later. I keep the raw data unzipped in their original folders and use the Directory button to load everything into WBPP. I also use Cosmetic Correction and Drizzle if there’s enough data.

I highly recommend Warren Keller’s WBPP tutorial on this site. Hope that helps!

Leslie-
There was a data set I recall that didn’t load in WBPP. I think I used Plate Solver to fix the header information in the FITS files. I’m not an expert in this area, but there are posts about it on the TL community forum and the PixInsight forum.
