In PixInsight (and in most other post processing applications) the user decides whether to use auto-detect Bayer-matrix or manually set the...
Oscar. Just a note to add to Doug’s reply. Before connecting any high power device, such as a cooled camera, to the mount’s built-in aux power...
Mark. Give WBPP a miss, it is a blunt instrument that provides virtually no feedback when you have to deal with problems like this. Until you...
Mark. In addition to the comments and help from Doug. If not already set, use a higher dither setting to better compensate for the permanent hot...
Unlikely to be 1/2' bolts stretching Tim otherwise half the structures in the world would be falling down! Chemical bolts are actually much...
You just caught me as I was about to turn in for the night.... Quite possibly running Disk Cleanup on Windows 7 and/or unplugging the camera...
Mike. I’m not sure about the various capture settings for the ALUMA CMOS camera and how that might affect FocusMax. The camera we were setting up...

Hi Jim. I had time this morning for a quick look at your latest images and there is nothing unusual in them. The "red" dots are the uncalibrated...

Hi Kenn. Doug will reply soon with some observations and suggestions, FWIW, I had a look at your latest Ha and dark and it appears that your dark...
I had a different thought when looking at the ~9114~ image, it reminded me of a calibrated image where the dark was contaminated by an...
