Color balance while making a mosaic

A few days ago I took lots of pics using SharpCap to control my ZWO ASI2400MC-Pro camera. The goal was to make a 2x2 mosaic of the Rosette Nebula. After hours of processing in Photoshop, I was able to get a nice mosaic... https://vanderbei.princeton.edu/images/NJP/ngc2238_mosaic-DeNoiseAI-low-light-...

What are LiveStack.WBB.db and LiveStack.WBR.db?

When I look at Stack...CameraSettings.txt files, I'm seeing weird values for these two items. Here's an example...

LiveStack.WBB.db=-0.3831271
LiveStack.WBG.db=0
LiveStack.WBR.db=0.0009725437

Should these all be set to zero? If yes, how do I do that?

Re: New unremoved hot pixels have popped up.

Ok. That's good to know. I'll be sure to grab good dark frames.

Re: New unremoved hot pixels have popped up.

PS. I'm also wondering if there is a way to tell SharpCap to ignore the hot pixels. I'm not using a guide scope, so things do move (aka dither) a bit over the 5 minutes of exposure. So, I'm surprised that SharpCap is not identifying them as outliers and removing/ignoring them.

Re: New unremoved hot pixels have popped up.

Thanks Robin. I'll grab some new darks tonight. I'll also tinker with the display stretch. Hopefully one of those two things will help me understand what's happening.

New unremoved hot pixels have popped up.

I bought a ZWO ASI2400MC Pro camera last January and I started using SharpCap to operate the camera. Back in February, I took photos of the Rosette Nebula. I did 30 second exposures autostacked and saved every 5 minutes. Total exposure time was one hour. The individual 5 minute long fits files only ...

Live Stack is crashing the program

I just downloaded the latest 32-bit version of SharpCap Pro to my Windows10 OS running in VMware on my MacBook Pro. I've been going through the instruction manual learning how to use the program. My main motivation is to be able to do Live Stacks at some star parties that I will soon be hosting. So,...
