How to identify which images WBPP rejected during stacking?

I ran Pixinsight WBPP and during the integration step a number of the images are rejected. Not an issue with that but how can one trace back afterwards which images have been rejected?

In this instance, I was stacking data from 2024 and 2025 and about 100 of the 600 lights were rejected during the integration step. I would like to know if these rejected lights are from a specific night or perhaps all the data from 2024. But I cannot find in the log files which files are rejected (or integrated) and what the reason was for rejection…

Thanks!

Niels.

You should probably ask on the official PI forum, where more experienced users could help you.

But first, I would open the log in a text editor and search for the words “rejected” or “bad frames.”
