Very well done Menno. I love your innovativeness ….. in many aspects of this hobby. In this case, it is more than just an image.

Re: Should the mount be tracking during polar align
If you want to stop the Losmandy Mount tracking (Gemini-2), there are two ways to do this: 1) Menu > Park > ‘Park at CWD Position’. 2) Menu > Track > ‘Terrestrial’. Option 1) is not recommended because accidentally pressing one of the 4 direction buttons will start the Mount tracking again – cause f...

Re: M33 Triangulum - 100% PixInsight processing.
Hi Menno, Good observation. I think I know where the problem is – wrong offset was in use during data collection. When I collected the data the offset was 5 (SharpCap calls it ‘Brightness’ for ZWO cameras! :? ). Subsequent tests have shown this needs to be much higher for the gain and temp used. I h...

M33 Triangulum - 100% PixInsight processing.
Hi to all and hope everyone is staying safe, In the past, I was never satisfied with color processing done in PixInsight :cry:. To troubleshoot, decided to change the steps in PI to see if that made a difference. This image is processed entirely in PI (with different steps). No other software was us...

Re: M1 The Crab Nebula (180 sec f/7 unguided)
Hi Menno,
Very nice image for unguided subs. I also like the way you have gone about getting to this point – with the adjustment process detailed. It is ‘food for thought’ . Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.
Best regards,

Re: White Balance Settings for Nebula
I think the confusion comes from the labels on the right Image Control tab. It would be better if they said something like ‘ch amp gain’. This would indicate that they controlled the camera directly. I had the same miss conception till I experimented with the Image Control tab sliders and found that...
