Thank you everyone for your feedback and complements. The poor weather has kept me and my gear indoors, so over the last couple of nights/mornings, I’ve trashed myself by staying up to chase the seeing.
The avi’s from 10th April seem quite watery, almost like paintings by the impressionists. I had the following settings:
Brightness: 50%
Gamma: 00
Gain: 20%
The histogram graph/bar in K3CCDTools was hovering quite consistently between 215 and 225 and yet I’ve still managed to get some hot spots that are washed out. Looking at the K3CCDTools display, I figured that what I was acquiring would not be worth saving. It wasn’t until I pumped one of the avi’s through Registax that the reasonably decent results became apparent.
Gee, there is so much to learn in this game; managing tiredness, optimizing capture settings for the seeing, reading the local conditions, tuning the gear, etc.
Cheers
Dennis
