In this video I take a look at the latest WBPP script 2.5 (weighted batch preprocessing) and demonstrate how to use it and highlight some of the features. WBPP takes all of your data and calibrates, aligns and stacks it for you - all on auto pilot!

I’m so glad that drizzle is now integrated into WBPP. I’ve been waiting for that to occur. thanks for the video

Great Video Shawn, wish you were still doing more...Happy 2024 bud 😀

@betafoofoo270 7 месяцев назад

Can't thank you enough for taking the time and effort to share your knowledge. Excellent video, very professionally presented, this means I am actually starting to understand some of the functions on WBPP rather than just blindly setting up with defaults. Thanks again.

Thanks Shawn. I hadn't realised you can use master darks with WBPP before seeing this. Adding Drizzle is a useful feature too.

Great video, Shawn. When running WBPP with 'astrometric solution' and later processing using the CometAlignment module I had issues when trying to select my last comet image. This was repeatable on both my Mac and Windows. If you do run in to an issue, just run WBPP without the astrometric solution, at least this solved the issue for me.

thanks shawn!...agree with others, and looking forward to part 2, combining frames from different days, and different locations that need different associated flat frames.

@kurtbauch5491 Год назад

Okay, Shawn, you are now my goto guy for any updates in PI! This is an excellent video and a good review too. I kept coming up with questions and then you would answer it during your video. Looking forward to your Keyword video. I’m doing multiple nights now (OSC), but need to learn about aligning my Flats/Dark Flats and Darks. I definitely had forgotten some of the background of WBPP and this has helped refresh my partially fossilized brain. Also, it looks like I should be putting my Dark Flats under the Dark tab (I was putting them under the Bias tab. Again, great video! Thanks!!

@N4GW 2 года назад

Great video. I tried it and it worked great. The drizzle hint worked wonders. I use a REDCAT with an IMX571 so my images are under-sampled but I like the wide field view. The drizzle filled it in for me

@christophebrun-franc984 2 года назад

Thanks Shawn. Great tutorial very easy to understand ! I was not using drizzle but I may give a try now.

@Astro_Shed 2 года назад

Great video Shawn, I use a OSC QHY268c camera, and Image at 1.72”/pixel so not over or under sampled, should I used drizzle, will it really benefit me, also I read it’s only good to use drizzle, with very well dithered data, and I don’t either….?? 🤔👍🏻

@VisibledarkAstro 2 года назад

Drizzle requires a lot of subs and yes well dithered to be effective. It avoids interpolation. CFA drizzle should be used for OSC.

@sreeshab4093 8 месяцев назад

Excellent video Shawn, this is great help for novices like me. One question - the Drizzle - is it the same that we set for the Camera settings when we do autoguiding using ZWO Asi Air? Also, say my images are already Drizzled while capturing (through ASI Air), do you still suggest I should Drizzle again through Pixinsight?

@monteroder2708 Год назад

Good stuff. thanks

@MrGp3po Месяц назад

Thanks for the video. I am currently doing the trial period of PI and wondering if its worth the investment. Your video certainly is helping me learn what PI can do for my imaging. I do notice that as PI updates some tutorials become harder to follow.

@danjensen9425 2 года назад

I had a very frustrating time with some Telescope live data in that it had 1.20" 300" and 600" frames that came calibrated. the stack had really bad stars that were red or green huge squares. I finally used drizzle at #2 and it fixed the problem. It was the M51 data bundle. I haven't seen a video on how to process Telescope data yet. It's different in that you get calibrated frames. Telescope Live has a free trail too. They have tutorials but use both photoshop and pixinsight . Pixinsight is difficult enough to learn no need the stress of photoshop. Anyway, nice video.

@evoulv705 Год назад

It's okay. Give more videos like this

@dugstruble Год назад

I use manual registration reference image, as I manually process after calibration in WBPP when combining sets years apart. Although I see you have a newer video out on grouping. Not sure how that will work between to pixel image scales between two set-ups. If I can work, that will be the real game changer for me.

@timbotron4000 8 месяцев назад

There's so much conflicting info about which calibration frames are necessary. Some pepole say darks aren't necessary, others say bias aren't necessary. I just use them all lol

@VisibledarkAstro 8 месяцев назад

Bias are useful for CCD cams. Darks should be taken really. Cmos cams today are low noise, not no noise. If measured SNR using darks will be better. There's also a lot of bad info on RU-vid I find. Have to be careful.

@Erniej270 2 года назад

Thanks! Very useful!

@aluginbill6182 2 года назад

Isn’t there a setting under image integration that you can set to check for bad subs? Like minimum weighting? Or how do you check your subs before running it? Do you just add them all? Like in DSS where you can reject say the bottom 20% of the subs? Thanks

@Microtonal_Cats Год назад

Good tut. If using a Zwo OSC camera, do we need to remember to check CFA, or will it know? I figure if you're using the most common astro cams, PixInsight would know and adjust accordingly.

@kevholla7408 Год назад

@theinheritedsoul5018 Год назад

Thank you bro I am vary happy again. I am very v

@phildenoves Год назад

Good job Shawn 👌 i have one question : can I put directly my Master Bias, dark and flat in WBPP or do I have to take only frames? Tnahk you for your answer

@andreguttesen8982 9 месяцев назад

Hi, for a newbie really well described without being overwhelming. Ran WBPP the other day, when it then created 2 folders - calibrated, debayered - they have files of a good 25 GB in total.. right now I don't know the point of having them, and can you delete them afterwards.? do they have a function afterwards, other than they master.? otherwise you quickly run out of space.

@vmikaelson5514 Год назад

Worked, thx

@jeddymo7052 11 месяцев назад

I love all your videos. Can you give me a recommendation on the specs for a new laptop? I currently only have 16 gigs of RAM and when I do multiple nights in WBPP, I seem to run out of memory when I get to generating the Lights masterfile.

@alfredterrence6112 2 года назад

Great information. Drizzle wise, this means I don't have to go to Process > DrizzleIntegration and add in the .xdrz file anymore, yes ? Drizzle can be done on the new WBPP.

@VisibledarkAstro 2 года назад

That's correct! WBPP will do it all now.

@richardwitzke5492 Год назад

Hey Shawn, good video. I normally use APP for pre-processing, but figured I would give PI a whirl on C2022-E3-ZTF. Just noticed you have a SkyHunter mount in the background. How is it going with that mount? I purchased one since it is becoming increasingly more difficult to lug around my EQ6r with age. I find I can leave everything on it (RedCat, OSC, guider, mini computer) and carry it out, getting set up in minutes. Bonus in that respect. Albeit it is pretty dainty, so you can't disturb it too much after polar alignment. I find it difficult to guide better than about 1.2", with the odd moments at 0.7". How is that going for you?

@VisibledarkAstro Год назад

Hi Richard - I actually don't have the Skyhunter anymore. It couldn't carry the weight of my 71mm and camera etc. It was pushing the limits. I did have a chance to try it though and it worked well. Except for a meridian flip problem. But the firmware update and board replacement for the SKyhunter fixed all that. I don't recall what my guiding was like. I was getting round stars though. It would be good for a redcat or similar size. It was pretty easy to setup and polar align. I think if I did more DSLR and lens night shots I would have kept it for that. But I don't do that really. Cheers.

@richardwitzke5492 Год назад

@@VisibledarkAstro fair enough. I just use mine for the very light gear. I was very lucky ordering it later, so they held my shipment until they sorted out the motherboard issue. It is definitely a good grab and go compared to my old iexos-100
