Thanks Gary. Even with having auto calibration the process just takes 30 seconds at most with stacking. That does not seem right to me. In IP my images always took 10 minutes to process with the computer I use. Not sure what is going on there. Do I have to make masters first?
I have checked the flats and there is no data on them. For some reason 2 second and 1 second flats come out black on this camera. My flats at 0.8 worked OK. I don't know the reason for that but suspect it has something to do with saturation of the pixels. However, why arn't the flats all white?
I would have thought that lights at 8 minutes would have been brighter than this, even at full gain. Anyone got any suggestions? Please bear in mind that this is taken through an F8 RC. Please see image below.
I am just trying to work out what is normal for this type of imaging and what is not. Assessing the QSI for its performance is fairly critical so that I know whether it needs to go back or not. I am sure Michael from Bintel does not want to hear that.
Thanks for the help so far.
