I am trying to calculate transform coefficients for a color ZWO camera using VPHOT and TG.
TG ran properly using the demo file so I know that it is working on my computer. The calculations took a couple of seconds.
I have a calibrated and stacked image of M67. I separated the color channels and uploaded them to VPHOT using the filter names V, B, and R. I followed the instructions provided in the posting from this March entitled "New VPHOT workflow to simplify prepping data for TG". In VPHOT it went as expected and it generated a report file titled "HW+CnC.txt".
However, when I opened TG, set up a 'telescope', selected the file with my data, clicked on "TG/AIP", and clicked on Calculate Transform Set, it produced no result. Not even an error report. I did that several times, repeating the entire process from start to finish.
Then, I went back to VPHOT and downloaded photometry reports separately for each of the three filters. This time I selected my three data files and chose "VPHOT", I got the same result ... no results displayed and no error messages.
I am clearly doing something wrong, but I do not know what to do next.
Any suggestions?
Rick
ps. I tried to attach the HW+CnC.txt file to this posting, but in the "File Upload" feature, the 'Add a new file' window was greyed out, and would not let me add the file.
Hi Rick,
Share your M67 images on VPhot with me, user SGEO.
Also please send that HQ+CnC.txt file to me at gsilvis@aavso.org.
I'm sure we can get this sorted out. And maybe improve the instructions of the new workflow at the same time!
