I am unable to upload images into VPHOT. The images I want to upload have been taken through a DSLR. I have double checked the header.fit of the images and they look ok to me in terms of required information.

More Details?

Gianluca:

I recall that you have used vphot before so you understand the basic procedure? However, you have provided so little info that it is not possible to provide an answer.

It sounds like you are using a different camera than previously? You mentioned that it was a DSLR camera. Did you debayer the dslr image properly into separate filter channels and save them as fits images. What software did you use for this operation? Have you used it before? How big was the image file (MB)?

Did you use quick upload or upload wizard? Did the images make it through the upload step. Did they not show up in your image list? Had you set up a telescope in your vphot account for this equipment?

As you can see from my questions, we need more info to help solve the problem? We need to know the name of the files(s) you tried to upload and when (UTC) you tried to upload them. You could email the image to George (gasilvis@gmail.com) and I (kenmenstar@gmail.com). You could also copy and paste a header into your forum reply?
