Siril 0.99.8

I upgraded last night and am super impressed! Drizzle works well, and I LOVE the new snapshots feature. I'm looking forward to moving away from scripts and getting more into the program, now that I've finally got some data to work with (I'm still starting in this hobby).

Carlo Caligiuri:
I just did a symbolic donation... from a developer to another developer. I hope that other people can do the same.

Done. Thank you Cyril!

Cheers,
Mark

Filippo Scopelliti:
I have the request to know where to find instructions on how to manage .ser file for the lights and the darks as well. It is not easy to me to find the routine about how to do the pre-processing process from the beginning to the final masterlight.

The exact same way. A ser is seen as a sequence in Siril. Like a FITS sequence.

Because you work in 16bits in preferences. Work in 32

I said in preferences
Ctrl + P

This output is because you ask for a 16bit output (SER file?) with a 32bit input.

Do not hesitate to use the FITS sequence too. It allows to bein 32b.

I uninstalled the 0.99.8 version and I installed the previous 0.99.6 and it works perfectly. I load a .ser file in Sequence. I load my MasterDark file in Pre-processing and it generates the pp_ file without problems. Is it some setting I do not know how to set with the new version or could it be a bug? Probably the first but I cannot solve by myself…

I see, it depends on something I do wrong but I do not know how to do. How can I recognize if my master dark and my ser. sequence are 32 bit? What I cannot understand is that with the previous version it works. Sorry for bothering you but unfortunately i don't know any alternative.

In the mean time I can say that I consider SiriL very important for my specific use (lucky imaging deep sky with dobsonian) so I made a symbolic donation too. I show my first two attempts of the last few weeks with Siril. I really would like to continue and to improve the results in order to produce proper images, not only attempts.

Thank you again if you can help

Ok, I will try it. Thank you.

Hello. You can download now the version 0.99.8.1 that fix the crash:

Best regards,

Hello. I kindly ask a help about an error that occurred during calibration of a lucky imaging deep sky session. I use Siril because it is in my opinion the best software for this purpose. I already imaged the luminance of M51 with my mono camera (https://www.astrobin.com/bsppcj/D/?nc=user). I wanted to get the RGB data from a session with my ASI 294 MC Pro. During the calibration with the MasterDark (I calibrate with Dark only) the error was: "Bayer pattern found in header (GBRG) is different from Bayer pattern in settings (RGGB). Overriding settings." Actually in my setting the Bayer pattern is RGGB because I know that my camera should have this pattern. I show some screen shots.
The problem was not only the error message but also that my image was essentially grey. The post-processing has been done with PI. After Linear Fit, Background extraction and color calibration, I just found a small amount of color as a gradient red/green in the background but the galaxy was completely grey. I show a screen shot. Unfortunately this was my first experience in trying to compose a LRGB image with mono and color camera because the previous ones were made with mono camera only. Regarding the result of my picture it is possible that with short exposures, color is not so evident and saturated, in fact other people imaging this way do not produce great crominances but I cannot exclude there was something wrong in the acquisition or preprocessing.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thank you.
Filippo
