Love these 2-minute tutorials. Great information with quality production. You are Rocking It! Thank you for giving you time and expertise to our community!
Thanks much - I am so glad you found it helpful! And yes, there seems to be a very loose adherence to the "2-Minute" duration! Guilty as charged! LOL! "2-Minutes" should be interpreted as the "does-not-drone-on-for-90-minutes" Tutorial. Though that does not sound quite as snappy as the "2-Minute" Tutorial! I do, however, put a warning in on the description of the video to not take the "2-Minute" title too literally! ;-)
Hi Craig - thanks for the kind words! Given that most sequence control software saves in FITS, and most stacking software accepts FITS, I suggest using that format. It also has rich metadata capability, which is advantageous. You might want to use TIFF to export your processed images between systems (i.e. 16-bit tiff is good for moving between Pixinsight and Photoshop).
I noticed you mentioned you are using the ASI1600MM. Not trying to do any self-promotion here but I've made a bunch of custom filters for SPCC including a custom QE curve for the ASI1600MM which you can find linked in the description for my video on using custom filters for SPCC: ruclips.net/video/bAwK5Isk-U8/видео.html
Jason - thanks much for leaving the comment! I checked out your video on using custom filters for SPCC and found it EXCELLENT! I found it very informative. I looked at your custom filter file and did not see the custom QE curve for the ASI1600MM-Pro camera. My understanding is that this camera uses the Panasonic MN34230 sensor - so I would love to see the QE curve for this device in SPCC! Thanks, Pat
Hi Jason - I must have been tired last night - as I looked at your list of files and did not see it. I looked again this morning, and, of course, it was right there! Thanks much - I will be using it! I am considering making another 2-minute tutorial on filters for SPCC and just using it to recommend to folks that they just watch your video - which is so well done!

Thank you, Mike! Your feedback is very much appreciated! More Coming!
Great video extremely helpful for pixinsight novices like myself, don't know if it's a 2 minute tutorial though LOL

Great video. I learned a lot. What is better to do: take images in TIFF format or Fits format?

@@cosgrovescosmos thanks. I’m thing Fits have more plate solving details so I won’t get the no photometric data error
@@craiglowery4427 That's right - the rich metadata capability of FITS allows astrometric solutions to loaded and used by other apps!

@@cosgrovescosmos Thank you! Were you able to open the OneDrive share and see the list of files? It's in there as "Panasonic-MN34230-(ASI1600MM).csv"
