Hi Michael,

that worked fine. Before the image was completely white. For single images this procedure is nice, but how can I make sure imported images get certain contrast levels right at being loaded?
I have 194 galaxy clusters +/- 20° above and below the galactic equator ready to be shown. If I have to adjust all of them by hand that'll take days and it'll drive my mad in the end.

A second question: Is there a way to include all fits in a folder directly?

And third, since the KIDS (Kilo degree survey) of the Leiden Observatory has it's first data online it would be nice to include the available images in guide automatically or just like dss but with huger image dimension like degree x degree or so.

Fourth, does someone know about an up2date catalog of know gravitational lenses including images? I know that Abell 2218 is one and it can be photographed with a C8 to show the lensing.

cheers,
Christian

Christian,
i hope this helps.
right click on the corner of the image, which then
displays image
info.
Ok
now hold the ALT key down and use arrow keys to adjust
brightness,contrast
of image.
if you struggle to get GUIDE to display image info,
reduce level of stars
shown using the minus key.
cheers,
Michael M

Subject: [guide-user] Question: How do I change
the cuts for showing
fits files?
 
 


Hi,

after having some success on including plenty of my images
into
guide by wcs-orientating them with astrometry.net I was
wondering how I may set
the cuts to get more details out of the fits images.
The standard cuts are
nice for over views but if one wants to get some faint
galaxies or some arclets
of a gravitational lenses to be shown, it would be nice to
be able to adjust the
levels of the image.

In general, what is the basis on which the images
of dss and other plates are shown?

cheers,
Christian
