Non-calibrated subs

[Ron Yelton]

I'm curious as to whether there is a way to download frames from the Download Manager, bundles or one-clicks that are not already calibrated.

Thanks,

ron

Hi Ron, 

You can download raw frames in "MY DATA ARCHIVE" section by unchecking the "Show calibrated Images" in the calibration filter.

See attached image below. 

Clear Skies,

Hey Ernesto,

Just what I was looking for.

Thanks

As a follow up to this, when you download these RAW files and attempt to open them in Pixinsight, I get the following error:

Is there some obvious thing I'm missing?

 

Thank you,

Hi Dan, 

The raw frames of the new CMOS cameras (unlike the CCD frames) have a compression that PixInsight is unable to read. A software that can read these raw frames is SIRIL (free software that you can download from here https://siril.org/ ), once you open the frames with SIRIL you can save it and after that you can open it with Pixinsight.

Clear Skies,
Ernesto

@Dan Thompson also see the question i asked here; jarmo has a python utility that can unpack the fits files.

Ah nice, I'll check this out.  I didn't really want to open / save hundreds of files.
