Description

Processing Details:

Pre-processing:
  • Blink
  • ImageCalibration
  • CosmeticCorrection
  • StarAlignment
  • CometAlignment: Align comet
  • ImageIntegration: Integrate comet master
    • Integrated every other sub
    • Rejection algorithm: Winsorized Sigma Clipping
    • Sigma low: 4.0
    • Sigma high: 0.3
    • Winsorization cutoff: 3.0

  • CometAlignment: Subtract comet master from subs
    • Reject low: 0.12
    • Reject high: 0.79

  • ImageIntegration: Integrate star master
    • Integrated all subs
    • Rejection algorithm: Linear Fit Clipping
    • Linear fit low: 0.0
    • Linear fit high: 4.0

Linear Processing (comet master):
  • DynamicCrop
  • DynamicBackgroundExtraction: smooth out residual stars trails (x2)
  • CloneStamp: remove stubborn areas

Linear Processing (star master):
  • DynamicCrop
  • AutomaticBackgroundExtractor

Linear Processing (composite master):
  • PixelMath
    • (2*comet_master)+star_master

  • TGVDenoise: luminance for local support, masked w/ inverted low contrast mask
  • MultiscaleMedianTransform: luminance NR, masked w/ inverted low contrast mask
  • HistogramTransformation

Non-linear Processing (composite master):
  • TGVDenoise: luminance for local support, masked w/ inverted low contrast mask
  • MultiscaleMedianTransform: luminance NR, masked w/ inverted low contrast mask
  • ExponentialTransform: masked w/ screened comet mask
  • MorphologicalTransformation: reduced star sizes, masked w/ star mask
  • HistogramTransformation: final stretch
  • MultiscaleMedianTransform: luminance NR, masked w/ inverted low contrast mask
