Those "jail bars" typically happen on Kodak interline when the sensor saturates over a large area (as opposed to a few stars). It's possible that...
Please supply a FITS frame of the image. It's almost impossible to diagnose a JPEG.
Not specifically... once you have it configured, it works just like any other camera setup.
OMG, classic. Those cables really can cause a lot of not-so-obvious problems. And of course we'd never find it because the problem was outside...
Your image looks great, and the "EtalonFlat" is kinda cool! This is one of those "tinker until it works" type of thing. Subtracting it sounds...
My best advice so far: Acquire all frames at the exact same sensor temperature and exposure mode. Never, ever use bias frames. Acquire dark...
Here's the thing... what you really need is the same spectrum as the night-time sky background, which actually means that twilight flats aren't...
All the CMOS sensors that we've worked with behave very differently on short exposures versus long exposures. Not so with CCD sensors; they...
It can happen with any sensor that has a thin detection layer. I haven't had a chance to evaluate the 4040BSI as yet... constant bad weather.
They are a different beast! A few pointers: For calibration, do not use bias frames. Use darks, flats, and flat-darks matching the flats. I...
That is called Etaloning caused by a spectral line in your background sky glow interacting with the thickness of the back side illuminated sensor....
Also see here for video instructions on manually installing the drivers:...
People have done it in the past. The main thing is you must have an SBIG guide camera - one that has an I2C port. That could be a StarChaser,...
