Hi Martin thanks for those tips. I’ve been wanting to have a go at proper post-processing (as opposed to livestacking and stretch) - for about 6 months now - and have had almost zero clear nights to get any data that would be useful. Hence the less than optimal conditions to test things out. But then I love a challenge!! The goal was to get some kind of output as a starting point and get some feedback for a second / third etc go at it. So I’m very appreciative for the feedback that’s come back so far.
I think you’ve probably nailed the biggest issues with the processing. I did have darks and bias (calibrated as dark flats for the asi294) and flat calibrations. The problem was the flats were not good. As a matter of fact I’ve only last week upgraded to the asi2600mc so this may well be the final shots I get with the 294mc. I should also get my new flat panel for next week.
Thanks for the startools tips. I can immediately see about 3 things I did totally wrong so yes I’ll do a repeat… More data and getting the eaf up and running will also be essential too I believe.
Cheers
