Nebulosity and the FIT Format

[darrellx]

Hi all

I have started to use Nebulosity to help me get my focus right, then to take some series shots. The only issue I have is the conversion process from FIT format to some other format that is usable by "Startrails", "PaintShop Pro" and "Photoshop".

I am just wonder what others use to convert FIT to TIFF (or JPEG or BMP or anything)? The batch process in Nebulosity2 doesn't seem to work. Doing the files one at a time in Nebulosity2 works but is to tedious for me.

Thanks
Darrell

You could try Irfanview for batch conversion and renaming. Alternatively you could get the free photoshop plugin fits liberator.

Darrell, in Nebulosity i do the batch processing/combining the image then export ti TIFF format - after combining goto
FILE then SAVE AS TIFF or whatever format you like,
