Official StarTools support forum

... and now, I think I might be able to say, I AM getting the results I'd like with LHaRGB! So last night I did an experiment: stacked my luminance lights in batches of 20, so that I could then compare them and see what was going on. While the stacks moved about a bit, because of dithering and a dif...

Oh, one more thing - @Mike in Rancho, would you mind sharing your log file again please, for M101? It just seems that you consistently get better results from my data, so I want to learn how you do it!

... this: Honeyview_M101-Luminance.jpg Still, if this is really a flats issue then that's probably the best problem to have, right? Because I can do something about it quickly and fairly easily. So tonight I'll be sticking around to rotate the panel between flats. I'll also have a think about maybe ...

Thank you admin and Mike in Rancho - my two favourite people in the universe (this one, anyway...) So Mike, again, thank you for taking the time to look at the data. I know you're finding it useful too, but it's still brilliant that you're around as a sanity check because I sometimes genuinely wonde...

Right, I'm starting to genuinely worry now about my ability to use this ASI1600. I've been using StarTools for two years with my modded DSLR and thought it would be a fairly easy move to mono, but I just cannot seem to get the hang of it. Somewhere along the line I'm doing something(s) wrong, but I ...

Great, thanks for letting me know Ivo. I'll have a think!

So, @admin when you say 'the bulk of the "gradients" here appear to be caused by an error in division (flats)' - do you think this is a hardware issue (how I take my flats) or software (how APP stacks them)?

Thanks again Mike, the log file downloaded fine, and I'll be going through it sometime soon. I'm now struggling with another LHaRGB data set, this time for M101! But I don't want to keep running here sobbing and asking people here to fix things for me, so I'm going to have a real go at this one. I'v...

Don't apologise! I'm learning a lot here.

Hi all, Looks like I've kicked off quite a debate! And thanks again Mike for looking at my data. I have to say I removed tge data yesterday because I didn't realise this thread was continuing, so I just uploaded it again in case anyone else wants to have a look: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqovBuVZMwj3k4ofr...
