Howdy Gunther and All,

I'm sure this is user error...

So I shot a Night - Day lapse including the Milky Way.
The first ~1000 photos from 12:00-5:00am don't require any exposure change. Although, when using the Holy Grail Wizard they are all bumped up what says HG Lum Leveling about ~.650.

I will admit that I originally was NOT going to be shooting a night-day lapse, just a nighttime lapse... Woke up in the tent with some energy and ended up trying to pull it off last minute. So I'm definitely not working with the most beautiful luminance curve.

Maybe that's the reason for my issues? HG wizard is attempting to balance the first 1000 images with the hotter exposure of the following images?
Some screenshots to follow.


Thanks kindly in advance!
Drew

You need to balance the curve that the holy grail wizard produces with the sliders.
Make sure that the curve is as close as possible to the middle line. Adjust the rest via keyframes.
