Thanks Robin, I did update the version of Sharpcap Pro in the last few weeks so iI should be good to go. I need to look at how I am stacking and/or imaging because I had a large amount of noise after stacking 217 images at 36.5 seconds each, so the issue must be on my end! Thanks again, it is so ver...

Good Morning all, \Two questions: I have both the SVBony 605CC and MC and there have been banding issues with both. SVbony released a new SDK at the end of November that was supposed to address most of these issues. I downloaded the SDK and ran the insatller, but when I open both NINA and AstroDMX, ...

I did create new darks/flats and bias frames through Sharpcap Pro. I also used the smart histogram and shot 350 lights at 11.5 seconds, 10 darks, 20 flats. A few thin...

Thank you Jolo and Robin. I will try your suggestions, especially with regards to the calibration frames and see what results I get

Thanks Robin,
I will tie all down and make sure it is secure (and wait until the moon isn't quite as bright) to test out!
