Darks and Deepskystacker

I mostly use DSS to stack my images. I used the darks and flats feature of Sharpcap Pro to create averaged dark and flat files. However they're not properly compensating for amp glow when used in DSS. In fact, the more images i add to my stack ,the worse the amp glow gets. If i manually create darks...

Re: To Gain or not to overGain

Just to update on this - I unticked the setting in Sharpcap and now DSS finds dozens to hundreds of stars.
Yay :)

Astrodude - the setting is in Sharpcap.

I had it on, and it probably explains why my images were unstackable!

Re: Sensor Analysis not saved

Hi Robin that wasn't quite what I was asking :) Initially I ran sensor analysis, went straight to smart histogram, and the 'brain' icon was present. All fine. I then exited Sharpcap and went back in and the brain icon had vanished. Arg. It looked like Sharpcap was losing the analysis on exit. Howeve...

Sensor Analysis not saved

Sharpcap Pro 3.1.5193
Hypercam 183C
