just to bring me to date on your setup

- 8" SCT?
- DMK in 8 capture
- no filters as yet

Not being versed with the imaging capture software for the DMK, what is the histogram showing (hopefully values between 0-255...8 bit)?

Also are you estimating the exposure by eye? The dark adapted eye can think something is bright, when it is not really. I always let my histogram read out in my capturing software to tell the truth (0-4096...12 bit)

I also do not touch the setting of brightness / gamma / contrast. I want as "natural a caputure" as possible.........ie I do not want to try and capture at 60fps and at first get a dim image, then try and "artificially" boost the signal by upping the brightness / gamma etc.

Do you have a single frame from one of the runs before registax played with it?
