and after EEA - real imaging with all the saved frames
Just to show that beyond the pleasure of the initial EEA -- the individual frames that Sharpcap co-saves along with the autostacks do not go to waste. Here is the result of stacking about 1200 x 10s frames of M51 from the past two nights. I will be adding the below as luminance into a colour image i...

Re: Interaction between FWHM and frame brightness estimates
That's great to learn Robin. plus I also remain interested in the photometry application for tracking variables and suchlike

Interaction between FWHM and frame brightness estimates
I have noticed - more times than can be coincidence - that - especially with rather dim individual frames associated with short exposures - the FWHM estimate often varies with brightness. i.e. amongst a series of consecutive frames of varying brightness (e.g. thin high cloud passing over) higher sig...

Re: High res "EEA" with SC autostacks + Blur Xt
Thank you Xio, Indeed that is true and the other - probably unique - thing with Robin is that he takes the time not only to address any bugs but to also engage us in suggesting/ prioritising new features. SC 4.1 is a toolkit packed with features covering a wide variety of interests. Tim

High res "EEA" with SC autostacks + Blur Xt
Whether the below really counts as EEA I am not quite sure -- but it does seem extraordinary that technology has advanced so rapidly over these past few years that it is now possible to observe four or more objects - in this case local galaxies - in really very high detail from a Bortle 7 back garde...

Re: Problem with livestacks - dark subtraction - in EEA
To the point that MarMax makes -- I have also seen something similar in the past - i.e. with needing to increase the offset of the lights when going to dark sites - or else ending up with a clipping problem during EEA.

Re: Problem with livestacks - dark subtraction - in EEA
Just to add in one observation on the livestack problem. I have also observed that - as well as with e ASI294MC camera - you also get the hot pixel problem with the ASI294MM mono camera used in either mode - 11Mb or 46 Mb.

Re: ZWO ASI 294MM issue
Hi Thomas, I have currently been using the exact same camera, up to date drivers and version of Sharpcap over the past week or so. Everything has been fine except for on one night when I also had a connection/ disconnection problem. The fault turned out to be with the USB 3.0 cable connecting the sc...

That is an outstanding image Leandro and Dave - really good detail and colour contrast across the entire mosaic! Tim
