Re: Live stacking - does "save individual frames" apply dark frame subtraction or is it just the light frame?

Thanks Robin, I'll have a play around and see what happens. I think I've seen (but not touched yet) an option to change the bit depth so some good suggestions to explore. While I don't fully understand the in's and out's of calibration/bit depth yet, these minor hurdles force me to learn more every ...

It is only when I subtract the masterdark that sharpcap used during livestack that the subs go really black. Do I just need to capture another masterdark instead of using the one sharpcap crea...

The resulting stacks are very nice individually but I'd like to process the raw frames in pixinsight in hope of ...
