I could not seem get an image in NINA so switched to Sharpcap and after much faffing around with extender tubes and a diagonal finally got an image. Leaving the scope alone I switched back to NINA and while I finally got an image it was very dark. The only adjustment I had was gain but that did nothing until I reached the point where it was too much.
Sharpcap gives access to all the settings in the camera - gain, saturation, gamma, contrast, white balance etc - but NINA doesn't, so it looks like I'll have to use Sharpcap.
I suppose another option will be to get a guidescope, use the camera as a guider (seems a bit of overkill) and use my Canon.
All this is giving my braincells conniptions!  |
Saturation, contrast, gamma and WB are not really functions of a RAW image. That's post-processing. Gain is all you need. The rest is editing.
If you're pushing it in Sharpcap, it sounds like your raw image there isn't great either.
Extenders necessitate longer subs, btw.
