--- Comment #20 from Hy <hymu...@gmail.com> --- You said: but I never found any detailed instructions on how to do so You're right, it isn't well documented. It would be great if you wrote those instructions. I can point you in the general direction of where to do the research. You didn't send me what parameters you were using that were failing. Please do. I did the following. I installed StellarSolver source and compiled the program including the StellarSolverTester program from https://github.com/rlancaste/stellarsolver I ran StellarSolverTester, loaded your image, clicked on "StartSourceExtraction", and played with the different preset profiles. Most solved your image, including 1-Default. Can you try that too? StellarSolver is really a repackaged version of something professional astronomers used call sextractor. There is plenty online help for sectractor, and suggestions for the parameter values. For instance: http://star-www.dur.ac.uk/~pdraper/extractor/Guide2source_extractor.pdf Google sextractor for more. Also, Rob does point to some documentation in the profile editor. The column headers below "Sextractor Parameters" contains links to the Extractor Params (https://sep.readthedocs.io/en/v1.0.x/api/sep.extract.html) etc sextractor documentation. The "Star Filtering Parameters" section has tool tips (put your mouse over the field and see some doc) for those parameters. Summary. (1) Run StellarSolverTester with your image and get "Start Source Extraction" to work, chosing profiles, and if necessary modifying profile parameters. (2) Use those profiles back in Ekos and hopefully things will be working now. (3) Using your image in StellarSolverTester, I was able to solve with many profiles. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
