Plate.BackgroundTileSize Property

Plate.BackgroundTileSize (read-write, Integer)

[advanced] The edge dimension (pixels) of the tiles within which average background brightness is measured (default equivalent to 10% of the larger image dimension)

Syntax

Plate.BackgroundTileSize [= Integer]

The property syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
Value (Integer)	[advanced] The edge dimension (pixels) of the tiles within which average background brightness is measured (default equivalent to 10% of the larger image dimension)

Remarks

This is an advanced property. In most cases, you will not need to change this value, the default will work. If you are having trouble getting plate solving to work, first verify the accuracy of ArcsecPerPixelHoriz and ArcsecPerPixelVert.

This is the size of the areas into which the star finder divides the image for the purposes of determining average background brightness. It does this to avoid the need for flat-fielding the images, making the finder more robust.

This is calculated when a FITS file is attached to the object, the value is 10% of the larger dimension of the image. If you override this value, do so after loading the image.

Legal values range from 10 pixels to 50% of the largest dimension of the image. This property cannot be changed unless an image is attached.
