This FAME Script is really God sent. It's my got to script for all my masking needs. Thank You for sharing this with us. What would be awsome is if you could up the zoom level more so we can do more precise masking. Thanks !
Recent update has lost identifying (in green) the object in the circle you wish to identify. Also the default toggles all objects with names which is annoying when I would like to toggle if I want to know name.
Not sure what you mean by toggles all objects with names. That behavior is the same. I will have to look as to why the marker doesnt turn green. Are you talking about V1.8?
@@setiv2 you are correct there. Look at that discovery made recently near that well photographed object Andromeda. The problem I have, it is so cloudy here in the UK, I need a script developed that can remove clouds from my images.
That for sure is on my to do list. Zooming in and out is way more complicated than I first thought. When you zoom you have to change the apparent size of the main image, then adjust the size of the scroll bars, adjust where you are in the image, scale anything you drew and offset them by the new scroll position, then even tell the script where the mouse pointer is now relative to the new zoomed parameters. It was so crazy that it is all manually coded like that!
I have to say your initial release was nothing short of amazing and has provided me with countless hours of fun searching faint fuzzies. Who would have guessed it could have got even better ! Truly amazing and a big TU for all your time & effort. As an aside, I have found a ton of Quasars in an image but even SINBAD (or raw internet searches of the Quasar name) does not provide any distance information. Any chance you can direct me where I can find that info? As an example here is one: LAMOST J155845.57+263734.3 QUASAR
Most reference the z shift. That is the redshift. I convert redshift to distance with this astro.ucla.edu/~wright/CosmoCalc.html Be sure to click flat instead of open universe and the values in there should be current best science has
@@setiv2 Thank you very much for that link. I started doing the calculations "long handed" once I found values for Hubble's constant. What puzzles me is on many of the Quasars "data sheets" they show spectrographic z values of 1.6 or even 2.6 etc. I assume I am reading the data wrong as I thought the value for z is much less than 1. But I will keep digging, this is just way too fascinating. I had your script filter out everything but Quasars in one image and it found 200 of them ! TU again for an incredible tool !
I already had an annotated image of the rosette nebula which I did in pixinsight, I loaded the image into your what's in my image script and chose a couple of interesting subjects ie, Quasars, white dwarfs and carbon stars. the search added these subjects onto the already annotated image and I saved it. great I thought, added subjects of interest to an already annotated image. Problem is when I reload into pixinsight to view, the extra subjects are there, but are very small and cannot be read without zooming in. is there a way so these points of interest can be enlarged somewhat and can the be read along side the information from the original annotation. in this way you could really get into annotating the image with all the information you desire.
Really fun script to use, part of my workflow now, im interested to see what i snagged in the image. Thankyou for that. I do wonder if it's possible to only get results for things you can see in the image though, quite a few objects you can't see. It's probably a lot of work though for little gain. It's great as is, especially now you can query the entire image at once. Great work as always!
Thanks! There isnt a good way to filter only visible items, the query doesnt return magnitudes. I know I will be using this over getting piecemeal data out of TypeCat now for sure.
Awesome script! Very useful if you want to conduct a research. You know what it would be great? The ability to erase previous searchs on the image. Thank you so much for your generous efforts!
There is a toggle markers button. Or just eneter your new search parameters and it ckears the markers and searches again. No need to have an erase butyon
Hah! I went back to what I shot last month (www.astrobin.com/61qudc/) and I can easily see the planetary nebula you are talking about! I am planning at some point to reshoot the whole loop with the ASI294mm camera (6 panels). I won't get even close to the beautiful picture you shared, but it will be fun!
Way too many content creators use click bait like a game changer. This really is a game changer as I have spent hours looking for names of things. I think this is one of the most important new scripts in a very long time.
