Very much appreciate the reply and advice, I did notice that the exposure time jumped up quiet a lot if i selected 5% for the Read noise limit Seams best to stick with the 10% value then, that way you get more subs which i am guess will result in less noise when stacked anyway. I will try next time ...

Hi, Sorry if i have got this question in the wrong section here. I am just trying to find out some information or advice on two things in the smart histogram please. The read noise limit: I see it is set at 10% at the default setting, when i do my sky darkness test with an asi2600mc an Skywatcher Es...

Appreciate the reply, I have just ran a single image from M83 that i was imaging a few nights ago to see if i can work out what is going on, I got a bit of a strange looking graph. Camera is asi2600mc, gain is 100, exposure is 180 seconds, offset is 50 I see that i have way too much offset, after ru...

Hi, I have been doing a bit of research on exposure times, also been using the Brain function to get a measurement of sky darkness and also recommended exposure times for both Unity and max dynamic rage. What i would like to do if possible, is to actually find out what the Maximum ADU value is for t...

cheers, Very much appreciated.
T can see where i have made the error now.
I will put it back into practice next time the clouds are free.
Very much appreciated.

Thanks again for putting up with all these questions, it is really appreciated. I did give it a try last night and results were to be honest terrible. I am doing 111 second exposures as per the brain function results, also clicked apply to add all the results for the imaging run So when i did the ca...

Thanks for the reply and your advice on this, very much appreciated. So basically if i am reading this correct, if am to be say taking 70 second images, I am better of to leave the box labeled Capture and subtract bias frames to correct black level offset in flat unchecked, is this correct? And then...

Hi, I am using the latest version of SharpCap Pro Using a asi2600mc ( colour camera and Skywatcher Esprit 150 ) I am just looking for a little bit more advice and clarification on capturing flats if possible please. So the asi2600mc is the colour camera version I plan to use like stacking and the ex...

Yes, using the latest version of SharpCap Pro
I don't currently have any screen shots of it working. cloudy weather here for the next week according to the forecasts.
But it is very similar to that one in the link

Appreciate all and any advice. Yes i was thinking how the dithering might effect the live stacking. As i am currently having a few issues with my calibration frames using the traditional way of stacking and processing, I thought i would give this live stacking a try and see how the results come out....
