If we remove the reducer , I l afraid that we will tend to do a lot of mosaic and had even fewer complete dataset provided by this pier.very thought decision....
The problem with very large field of is that there isn't so much target to shoot. You capture all in one time

Do's[/size]
[size=200]Dont's[/size]
- [size=150]Always put in objects that are rising, about to rise or rising in the future for up to 3/4/5/6 months time[/size][/*]
[size=150]Use the whole sky as it rises N, NNE, NE,SE,S SSE
[/size][/*]- [size=150]Take account of the moon rise times alter over the course of a month in respect to the moon phase and spread jobs about so it continues to gather dat through the moon phases and rising times[/size]
[/*]
- [size=150]unless you have no choice then don't choose objects already on the west (as it gets dark) unless they are at the meridian, as objects you have previously choosen that are rising will eventualy reach the west all on their own [/size][/*]
[size=150]dont pick so many objects in one quadrent of the sky[/size][/*][size=150]dont just use the SSE SE and South parts that are rising as it limits what will get imaged over the course of the month
[/size][/*][size=150]Last but not least - stop planning data collection like you would at home ie whats over your head now![/size][/*]
[size=150]Above all else plan much further ahead as our softwhere will accomodate you
better and be more productive. it is quite happy to accept jobs that are
5-6 months time and as they rise it will gather the data
May i also make other very important suggestions that will help with productivety
[/size]
[size=150][size=200]Broadband imaging[/size]
Can one of the members put forward a G2V star selection job so you can calculate filter weights for the pier, this will make your LRGB data aquisition more efficient and you will get many many more images
[size=200]
Narrowband imaging[/size]
In my opinion you all gather far far too much hydrogen data and not enough of the other filters, this chip is very sensitive across the board so again its a worthwhile exercise to get it working effienctly and gathering better data
I really hope this helps clear things up and make it a more enjoyable experience for all of you

here[/url] from Astrodon.
Not sure how you would implement this in Pixinsight.
However, Surely the PhotometricColorCalibration tool derives the relative weights of the R and B channels relative to G, directly from a linear image (see here). Could we use that on a near zenith sub?
Straying outside my competence here, so just guessing.

Quote "If you are going to make new pier with large FOV , it is better to go back to native on pier 14 , during the galaxy seasons it will be more usefull
i still have difficulty to understand how work your scheduler as some jobs like 1160 hasnt started since two month on pier1"
Steve,
This thread is about pier 14 and you have given us valuable guidance on submitting jobs in general. Following up on this now as there does appear to be weaknesses in the way the scheduler is dealing with some jobs, particularly with the pier 1 queue. Florent in an earlier post was finding difficulty in trying to understand how the scheduler algorithm prioritises jobs, ditto. Using a scheduler is the only way to run a shared setup, but anomalies exist which may be why questions are being asked such as "where is this data?". Florent did draw attention to job 1160, see above, and to which I had drawn attention to when another submission for the same target was made. When you replied, obviously you were fully concentrated on pier 14 and understandably believed this was being caused by the mosaics. Job 1160 is on pier 1.
So, Ngc660 galaxy submitted August 12th still not started, similarly, the other submission for this target, #1233. In addition to this the Sculptor galaxy, Ngc253, was submitted August 13th, and I think most of us know this does not rise very high. Both of these are also broadband images and ought to have a higher priority over narrowband particularly around new moon. Another important thing that appears to be absent in the scheduler is the job submission date.
So to take last night for instance, I think time was concentrated on 2 jobs. Ngc772, a galaxy, and sh2-132. The galaxy transits at 01:32 at 71°, and the diffuse nebula at 21:49 at 72°.
The 2 aforementioned jobs not yet started :
Galaxy Ngc660 transits at 01:16 at 65°, but of more concern with the moon now waxing is Ngc253. This transits at 00:17 at just 26°.
Two situations, one is that no priority is being given to a job submitted 2 months ago compared to one more recently, the other obviously is that an object with a short imaging window has also not been started despite also being summitted 2 months ago, and effectively being trumped by targets that ought not to be.
I realise that you have limited control over the scheduler, but what is being witnessed does somewhat fly in the face of your guidance to us on submitting jobs.
Just playing devils advocate Steve on this, and none of the jobs mentioned are mine.
Cheers,
Ray
