Re: Beginner looking for advice - M31

Hi, that's not a bad starting point! Most probably you'll just need more light frames I made an attempt with your stacking 22_done.jpg I'm not completely satisfied, anyway, here are a few considerations 0. Before wiping I've noticed that there is a light fall at the edges ... but you have used flats...

Re: Saving work in Star Tools while keeping Tracking active?

Re: binning to speedup processing

After this finding I started improving my guiding and then I tried making frames at 30, 60, 120 and 240s to see if guiding (which, btw, was not bad, at 2/3 of...

Re: astro pixel processor

Hi Rowland!! I have all my data on dropbox, do you need original lights + calibration files? I can share everything (I'm not jelous ;) ), including the final FITS so you can check your result with DSS stacked one And, btw, anyone who wants to process the files is welcome LIGHT: https://www.dropbox.c...

Re: astro pixel processor

Thank you Ivo!! unfortunately APP trial is no longer valid, and, btw, stacking on DSS did not create these problems in Startools. Thit make me think that dark anomalies are not at the core of the problem, maybe something else? APP is a bit "opaque" in its settings, there might be some of them that s...
