I'm back to report in case someone else have the same problem.I've tried to take the flats using the dew shield without success. Nothing I'm doing is resolving the problem and I think that the problem is the combination between my OTA, the focuser a…
Hi Adam,finally had the time and the sky to try to add the "extension" to the CC.
I've disassembled again the OTA to work on the focuser. I've created 2 "extensions", one attached directly to the focuser, but that one looked too broad and not cover…
Probably not...
You're right, the problem with the flat indicate just thatI use a Tak 180 Epsilon. I think you would agree it is a similar design. I made a tube of black flocking paper that fits into the hole where light is directed from the seconda…
You're right, I'm just plain stupid.I've used the NSFs as you said, as flats images, and the process went on smoothly.
The result shows an image that's a lot more in line with a correctly flattened master light.
In the attached files you can find, a…
The NSFs I've taken are a mosaic of a little zone of the sky, with 120s exposures and the same temp, gain and offset as the lights.
After taking them I've created the master flat as per your video:50 x 120s flat frames -> loaded in WBPP as light …
Hi Adam,I've taken the NSF, but I don't understand how should I integrate the frames coming from an OSC camera.
If I try to integrate the calibrated NSFs (without debayering) I get a flat that doesn't seems quite right - and the resulting integratio…
Ok, thank you! I will wait for a better day then! For the moment I'm subscribing to the Horizons Membership so I can check some more.
I see in the video that the NSF were taken at 300s, it's 300 second the minimum amount?
Regards,Edoardo
Yeah, I'm doing just that. I've tried before to do some synthetic flats, but there were not enough dithering to create it and it never got to me to take different part of the sky as images.
My sky is not that good today, is that a problem? I can see…
Hi Adam!
I'm still doing the Fundamentals, so I will go for the Patreon at the moment.
I hope it will help, not for the money (we are into astrophotography) but for the amount of frustration out of this problem.
As always, your help is always appre…
