RGB ants marching across images? (ASI294)

I keep running into this issue where dotted RGB lines appear across images while live stacking. Using darks doesn't seem to remove them. Using a ZWO ASI294 at 0C. While not always as bad as the example below, almost every session from 2min to 60 shows some form of these lines. Like someone took RGB ...

Re: ASI294 overexposed? Vignetting/weird colors even with flats

Just re-reading your post. I think I'm confusing the sliders. When I say I adjusted the sliders once I framed my target prior to capturing darks, I mean the R/B sliders on the right hand side under image controls. In live stack mode, do the vertical RGB sliders also align the histogram peaks? I've e...

Re: ASI294 overexposed? Vignetting/weird colors even with flats

Great resources and tips again. Just gave it another go. This time I did a flat captured with t-shirt method, making sure the white peak was at 50, brightness 0, R/B 50/50. When it got dark I framed my target, and used the sliders in live-stack to align the peaks. Once that was done, I captured 10 3...

Re: ASI294 overexposed? Vignetting/weird colors even with flats

Ok lots to try - really appreciate the tips. The tips about darks makes sense. Would you mind sharing your process? Since different targets are going to need different R/B adjustments, it sounds like you'd need to frame the target, adjust levels, and then capture darks? I've been trying to capture d...

Re: ASI294 overexposed? Vignetting/weird colors even with flats

Thanks. That sounds like what I've been doing. I did read that thread last week so thanks for doing all that testing! Does your live stacking historgram peak show up in the middle or right side? I haven't seen this is people's screenshots so not sure what's causing it. Hopefully this link shows up. ...

ASI294 overexposed? Vignetting/weird colors even with flats

New to this - currently using an ASI294 with a Stellarvue Access 80 f/7 (.8 reducer) on an AZ-GTI in Alt-Az mode and Sharpcap for everything. Seems like lots of folks have gotten good results with similar setups. Main issue seems to be where the histogram starts in live stacking mode. The peak seems...
