I'm a two week EAA novice. On my first night out with a camera managed to get a really nice image and I inadvertently just clicked SAVE and not Save as it appears. After some confusing attempts to do something with the Fits File I have ended up with a .tif file. I downloaded Fits Liberator but its o...

mfratto : Thanks for the additional details. I wasnt expecting it to work when I clicked on Live Stack with that Ancient Camera. Its not sensitive enough to see stars.

Eaa Newbie here. I have been reading and watching video about Eaa. I have not bought a camera yet. I have only had an ancient first Generation Neximage to play with on Sharpcap.

Thank You
Will be away for the afternoon but will check in upon return

Knowing that - I'm guessing the potential image will be very poor considering the size of the default image - the age of the technology - then compounded by 300 % z...

Thank you - Will do when work is finished. Will Report.
