Using Brain to get correct narrowband exposure

I was out the other night trying to figure out the optimal settings when shooting narrowband out of my suburban backyard with my 294mm using 3nm HA and 3nn OIII filters. To date, I've been shooting at a gain of 300, but was curious what the "Brain's" analysis would yield. The problem I'm h...

Copying Sharpcap Sensor Analysis Files

Hi,

Just got a new mini-PC for my rig. Is there a way to copy the sensor analysis files that the SharpCap brain uses from my old PC to my new one?

Thanks.

Re: Flats nightmare

Thanks, Robin. I will avoid that range for now. Quick question then. I use the Brain a lot for getting my exposures right. What's an easy way to figure out the correct exposure length for 190 gain? Do I set the brain to Unity and adjust off of that?

Re: Flats nightmare

Just found this thread and can't tell you how much it's helped. I've been going nuts trying to get reliable flats for my LRGB images (shot at 121 gain) and yet have had no problems with my Narrowband flats shot a 300 gain. Now I think I know why. Next LRGB run I'm going to try and shoot my flats jus...

Re: ZWO ASI294MM Pro SDK Update

So went ahead and ran the sensor analysis at 11MP and 1 bin. The data coming back looks like the original curves that ZWO published before unlocking the camera, so far so good. Of course, now looking at clouds/rain for the next 2 weeks so may be a while before I can test the brain out. Capture11mp1b...

Re: ZWO ASI294MM Pro SDK Update

Hi Robin,

Can you confirm if I'm reading this right. I'm trying to mimic the original setup of 4.63um 11MP. To do this I should set the read mode to 11 MP and the binning to 1? Good news is the control popped up and seems to be interacting with the camera.

Re: ZWO ASI294MM Pro SDK Update

I will give the brain a try on the next cloudless night. In the meantime I'll try running a sensor analysis using the new settings. I'm assuming that the graph should look pretty close to the original specs that were published by ZWO before they unlocked 1X1.
