Configuration

The pipeline is configured via tile_compile.yaml.

Key Sections

• input — source directory, frame limits
• registration — alignment engine, anchor strategy, astrometry
• tile_reconstruction — tile geometry, acceleration
• stacking — weighting, rejection, output format
• background_extraction — BGE parameters
• photometric_color_calibration — PCC catalog, reference
• runtime_limits — memory, time, worker limits

Schema

Validate with:

./tile_compile_cli validate-config --path tile_compile.yaml

Get schema:

./tile_compile_cli get-schema

Examples

See tile_compile_cpp/examples/ for scenario-specific configs:

• m104.example.yaml — Alt/Az, strong rotation, poor seeing
• full_mode.example.yaml — high quality equatorial
• emergency_mode.example.yaml — minimal runtime
• smart_telescope_dwarf_seestar.example.yaml — smart telescope
• canon_equatorial_balanced.example.yaml — balanced DSLR

Parameter Studio (GUI2)

The web frontend provides a guided parameter editor with:

• Scenario presets (altaz, rotation, bright stars, few frames, gradient)
• Situation Assistant — automated parameter suggestions
• Real-time validation against schema
