Hi Devs, thank you for this amazing software, being using it for a while now. New features are amazing too, the star removal doesn’t work at all for me, any suggestions on how to get it to work?
Error show in Box: “No valid StarNet executable found to configure Starnet installation directory. Check your StarNet installation and Siril configuration”
I tried launching from the .bat bust still the same.
Thank you for your quick reply! Originally no i haven’t but after seeing your comment i set it and it still nothing, even restarted my pc. Should i place the tool in sirils directory? its placed on my desktop at the moment
Congratulations on the new release! Amazing addition of features… I’m fairly new to SIRIL (have been using APP and PI) but I need SIRIL for it’s speed… it is so fast! I need this because I shoot very short exposures on an Unguided GOTO Dob, so I’m hoping to switch to SIRIL.
Anyway, one feature I need is the new “-framing=max” option/feature on Seqapplyreg because due to my field rotation I need an expanded frame for stacking. So thanks for the new feature!
I tried testing it and modified the OSC_Preprocessing_NoDarks script to this:
Align lights
First doing: register pp_light -2pass -noout
register pp_light -2pass -noout
Now doing: seqapplyreg pp_light -framing=max
seqapplyreg pp_light -framing=max
It stacked, but my stack was very low quality compared to if I left off the “-framing=max” feature. If I leave that off, it stacks with the same quality as before, but when I put in “-framing=max” the stack is a smooth (low noise) result that has almost no details of the target. It did expand the frame to capture all the rotated lights (yay!), but something messed up with the integration.
Here is the good result (cropped and only a few lights so ignore the noisy results):
Autostretch depends on the histogram. Including areas that does not have the same noise level or even black borders will change it. So it’s probably just a different way of visualizing the same data. You could probably get the same result by stretching both images manually.
OMG, you are absolutely correct. The oversized frame has solid black and that really threw the autostretch off, in both SIRIL and Astro Pixel Processor. It took a fair bit of manual stretching to make them similar, but if I cropped them both to the same inner image, than the pre-stretch was almost identical.
I am humbled! Thanks for the quick response. I’m going to love this new feature!
Great upgrade. Love the new features. Thanks to all the dev team.
I have a question on the 3 stretch tools:
I notice that GHS has the option to select a modified ArcsinH as well. Is this different to the AsinH option?
SUGGESTION: Could you add the sliders at the bottom of the histogram to the GHS view (similar to whats available in the Histogram Transformation option) as well please.
Sorry if this is obvious but I can’t seem to find the answer here. I have got the beta version (MacOS - Intel - Big Sur 11.7.3) and have the latest Starnet2++ CLi version. I have this Starnet++ directory pointed to in the preferences section but when I go to run Star Removal it is saying that I have no valid Starnet Install present? Just wondering if I am doing something wrong? TIA.
I hadn’t no. All up and running now once I had!! Many thanks for the pointer. The only difference I had was that opening the Security and Privacy settings after running for the first time I didn’t get the option to set the preferences for libtensorflow.2.dylib. I had to go into the Starnet CLi directory itself and do it on the file there. Thanks again for the help and also the software. Much obliged.
