Regarding the two Color Study images - Do you have the original unprocessed "raw" FITS images? The ones you've supplied have been dark subtracted,...
Thanks, we'll review. To get the camera firmware version: 1. Exit all programs. 2. Power up the camera and wait 30 seconds. 3. From the Windows...

It's the binning, not the filters. StackPro is overflowing on high pixel counts during binning 2x2. I've logged a ticket for engineering....

Filter wheel is non-upgradable and the DL Config 2.4.0.0 doesn't show it. Hold off on changes till I get a chance to connect with engineering.
Bruce, William, this is useful discussion and influences our thinking. When I think about flats, here's what comes to mind: - vignetting - dust...
Hi Mike, I suspect it's a StackPro artifact that was fixed in a later firmware/driver/software version. Which filter wheel do you have?...
The G2V star approach works fine. You can also use filter transmittivity and QE curve for the sensor, and adjust to taste.
What would your "ideal solution" look like for solving flats taken with a rotator?
Gary, thanks for your preparedness to get this resolved. 1. Firmware was very very old, the newest software wasn't seeing it. We're going to...
I've tried again to get in touch. Please email with a phone number where you can be reached.
I suggest you try running CCDOPs or MaxIm to have it just grab a pile of images for a few hours; if you get a failure, then it's not SGP.
Gary I sent you an email a few days ago to schedule a remote session. Let me know when you can be available so we can put this issue to rest.
