Official StarTools support forum

Hi all, Sorry if this forum is not the most appropriate to ask this. I'm (still...) planning to buy a mono cam (a QHY294m pro, in particular) and the corresponding filter wheel (QHYCFW3-M US, 36mm, unmounted) and filters. I have many doubts about these ones.

First doubt is the eternal question about choosing mono or color cam. Cost and available imaging time are the main cons to choose a mono one, b...

Hi all,

before: after: any tips?

Well, actually my problem is that I don't know how to take flats with this filter. I was told that good flats should have an equilibrated histogram, quite centered. Without filter I managed to get that. But with the filter the channels are quite separated so I don't know how to center them in the hi...

Hi guys,

I would like to take the opportunity and ask about how are you taking flats with l-enhance. Mine shows an histogram with the channels quite separated:
is this normal?
