Fellas thanks for the thumbs up. Glad you liked the photo. Ta
Martin, I have seen so many different opinions on the net in regards to flatdarks and bias for the 2600. Then I saw threads about the speed of a bias..not to mention filters. When I went to filters I asked on another forum about flats with filters. Crikey response was take flats for each filter and take them every night. I did that for a short time I can tell ya. More calibration frames than subs. Didn't know how to stack them either.
So, Plenty of time on my hands, I tried darks, flat darks, bias and stacked in WBPP in PI. I even did flats with no temperature (ASIAIR threw a warning I should turn on the temp) so I used -30 and changed the gain. I take all my subs at -10 100 gain. Damm if I could see any difference. No amp glow with a 2600mm, tried no darks, no difference to my tired eyes. Then to make it worse I read a thread on ADU for flats. The ASIAIR will take them auto at around 30000. Then I read 24000, and another thread 27000 to 30000. Blimey, keep mine now at around 250000 - 260000.
My first camera was a 183 colour which I used from Sept 22 to Mar 23. Thought I was a guru and went mono using the 2600mm. I have only been doing mono for a tad over a year.
Using the correct darks, bias etc...confused as. So I now stick to just to (40) bias master and (60) flats/filters for the whole photo.
I am aware that technically there are reasons behind it all.
