Correction to my post - I set the exposure to 5 sec when capturing the dark frames (not 5 min).

I have been getting some very noisy images while livestacking, and thought perhaps using flats and darks may help. I tried it a couple of times and got poor results, probably because I didn't have the settings correct during capture of darks and flats. I understand that flats and darks must be captu...

Ok, thanks.

I got the image (only) on the big monitor and the image and controls on my laptop like I wanted (thanks for the tip). However... now I can't figure out how to make the image on the big monitor the same size as the desktop monitor's image when I zoom in. For example, if I zoom into the image on the d...

Thanks. I used to be able to get color images instantly in Pixinsight just by opening a raw file- no debayering needed (up until today)... Any idea why I now need to debayer? Not sure what suddenly changed.

I have included links to the FITS file, my finished image in Pixinsight and the Sharpcap capture file below. Any assis...

Thanks Robin - I will run the sequence again today using the live view. And that makes perfect sense why my EQ6 wouldn't track the sun; as you said I didn't do a polar alignment since I set up in the daytime. Thanks again, I appreciate it!

Thanks - I think I see what I did wrong. In my sequence, I used "capture still frames" instead of "capture live view frames." If I change all of these entries to "capture live view frames" do you think I will be able to move the target to the center of the screen during...
