That’s a super image of the Helix
Well done !
In regard to the 2600MC I think there’s so many variables with gain , off set , temperature , sky conditions etc... the only way to find a sweet spot on this camera is to get out there and image as much as you can on all objects and conditions, maybe after a year we may find that sweet spot or a few sweet spots
I’ve yet to image the Helix at my bortle 3 dark site ( I’ve only imaged it in Sydney with the filter ) so when the moon buggers off in a week or so I might give it a whirl
In regards to Gain , one thing I noticed was that when I open Ascom and choose my camera both Highest Dynamic Range and Unity Gain selections have the same Gain 0 and offset 10. Seems strange so I posted an enquiry on the ZWO forum.When I select Lowest Read Noise the Gain and offset are different
Hope ZWO can explain this
I use APT for my capture software
