Trying to help Paul Maley come up with a way to get a  flash rate/light curve from his video of the Astro H satellite that is tumbling that is in trouble on orbit. Been trying with regular Image J but this looks more like what Paul is needing.
The first issue with Paul's video is it jumps around as Paul is trying to track the object manually. Also at times the object almost totally disappears. I am new to the software but seems it could be used to figure out flash rates and graphically represent a light curve for a tumbling satellite. We have been using a gray scale surface plot. The issue there is a addressing atmospheric scintillation and synotic effect from video.
Is there any one who can possible help or at least give us a general guide in how to use AstroImage J to do this. Not a professional  or expert just a lowly amateur astronomer/satellite watcher.
Thank you for any help
Regards
Thomas
