Hi John
I have also downloaded​ the calibrated files etc.
I've had a bit of a play with the color scopes and got a few alright pics but I still need more data.
It's the playing around with all the filters which is a pretty steep learning curve like blending hydrogen Alfa with the red channel and how long to image using different filters. I'm sure each filter needs different exposure times.
Good fun playing with thousands of dollars worth of equipment and not having to sell my house to do so.
I've Just got basic lpi imaging so it's a try before I buy.
Still not to sure which rabbit hole to go down, CCD or DSLR but in the meantime I can virtually play around with the real thing.
Cheers
Andy
