yeh not sure about the gain - i am hoping someone can provide some input into that value. I think the noise is quite acceptable at 200 gain anyway so not too concerned.
My biggest issue was frame rate which i am happy with now. I also have heaps of dirt specs somewhere in my imaging train. Not the filter wheel, changing filters has no effect. Sticking my hand in front of scope seems to do nothing, and corrector plate is relatively clean. They show up as small dark spots in the image, but because the planet drifts slightly and jumps around it gets eliminated in processing.
thanks for letting me know your settings for EZplanetary, i can use that as a more educated comparison - ill install ezplanetary at some point to do some tests.
do you play around with gamma at all?
