The last two EAA sessions I spent a lot of time late in the stacks adjusting the color balance. My laptop with the trackball mouse (which I like) is just not ideal for making these important last minor adjustments. About every other time I try to use the 0.1dB adjustment I mess it up. Either the too...

Thank you Robin. I'm using the exact same hardware and cables with a 294MM in Unlocked Bin1 and an 2600MC pro and have not seen the problem. I would think the data transfer to be equivalent. I'll run through all the tips and see if something needs an adjustment. I am using a full USB set up. Powered...

I bought a new ASI183MC-Pro a couple weeks ago and I've experienced some strange things. After opening the camera in SC and everything appearing correct it has stopped working 2-3 times. The first time I noticed this was while taking a flat frame so I disconnected and reconnected the camera and it w...

[thinking out loud a bit more based on the last couple EAA sessions where I spent a lot of time making final R-G-B color adjustments] The ±0.1 dB color adjustment seems to be the maximum allowable late in a stack with higher histogram stretch settings. That is, even a 0.1 dB adjustment can make an ...

I've been paying more attention to the mini-histogram the last couple of nights (actually the first clear nights in three weeks). Something that I was not regularly doing until I started using the ±0.1dB changes in the live stack histogram by clicking on the slider and using the up-down arrow keys. ...

With all this discussion so far I'm still not sure if the Mini-Histogram can be a final adjustment measurement tool. I've reached my "level of detail" limit visually using the laptop image and Live Stack Histogram. That is, I'm not able to discern which final 0.1dB R-G-B adjustments best a...

When doing DSO live stacking with an OSC camera and using the Live Stack Histogram it can be difficult to see the fine adjustments to RGB, especially when using the ±0.1dB changes. With Lock Stretch ON the Mini-Histogram RGB curves can provide a better visual for fine adjustments but it's a fairly ...

Robin, Thank you for the reply. I'm attaching a screen snip of the Annotation Catalogs. It looks like I need to delete the HyperLeda18 and PGC-Mag18 files as they must really consume processing. Image annotation did take a few seconds to come up when using it with narrower fields but I did not think...

The last two times I've used SharpCap it was with a 50mm DSLR lens, so very wide field. Last night was with 4.1.11754 and the prior session was with 4.1.11648. I'm running a Windows 10 laptop and have not made any configuration changes to my Deep Sky catalogs. I'm attaching two logs from last night....
