So... here goes another test I did today. Stacked my 9hours in 3min subs in Siril, with the old calibration frames and so on, just like DSS. Result ? I don't really understand what Siril does, but I do like it.. Horse Head 9hours Done Siril Lines-1-2 50%.jpg And here the comparision of both files, s...

umm, with the recommended settings in any of software , being ASTAP DSS or siril. Well, in siril I just input the bayer matrix of my sensor, but the first time I used it, Siril actually reads that information of the Fit header , so not even that needed. I don't know if that answer your question ? Is...

Leave the hot pixel in the dataset, Ivo would say, << it is best to deal with hot pixels within startools. Removing the hot pixels using DSS or stacking program will create artifacts...>> and then StarTools will not react very well to the processing done during stacking. Ivo, any comments? Good luc...

Hi Rich! Great images! And thank you for the tips! :D I will take them into account! For me the problem is rather the artifacts it show, as Ivo mentioned those pixeles blotches might be the dithered hot pixels, but I seem not to be able to get ride of them .

Buenas tardes, ya he terminado la traducción del manual de la versión 1.7 de StarTools :) La volveré a revisar en busca de errores pero por ahora está bastante bien. Espero que os sea de ayuda :) https://download.startools.org/StarTools%20Manual%20V1_7%20Spanish.pdf ¡Cielos despejados! Carles.

But the post was more a...

Also, I have used lights, darks and flats in the stacking. Autodev M101.png Hi again, I'm looking at your file. you should take Bias frames too. there's some banding all over the image that should get better with Bias /dark flat frames including darks and flats. I've used AutoDev->Bin->Crop--> Wipe...
