here is my PI processing

finally hooked up to my scope (ES102) with non modified DSLR As it was not guided, I have only 15 sec duration images (i think 80 or so) with darks, bias and flats. here is my first attempt. Not really sure what I am doing here. This is a screen shot but once it get the pass key to unlock the progra...

I guess a better question would be when processing a wide field (like Milky Way) would you use any mask? I would think since it is a star field without any particular roi I would use either? Or would I choose nebulositty/Milky Way as the roi? Btw my iMac seems to work well as long as image is correc...

Thanks

I have vixen polarie that tracks. Maybe between images I should stop it for a few second and turn it back on. May really mess up polar alignment by the end though how are you stacking in PI? I have been using the batch preprocessing ( can do calibration, registration and integration) with CFA and de...
