I have never used dithering which means these will be default values in SC 3.2.



Hint: in any technical environment, before making changes, record values so that regression is possible.

Tim An Astrobin search for 'double lyra' yields https://www.astrobin.com/search/?q=double+lyra . One of them was Belgium. For my M42 HDR attempt, these are the FITS Liberator views (unstretched) for single frames at varying exposures. Trying to retain the Trapezium, I probably needed exposures less ...

Tim Research HDR techniques . A good land based explanation of HDR here https://astrotuna.com/category/hdr/ , courtesy of Brian (@oopfan). The following are 3 stacks generated using Astro Pixel Processor - 60x10s, 60x20s and (60x10s + 60x20s). For the 3rd image all 120 frames were loaded, calibrated...

js10 I have a capture laptop with a 500Gb hard drive. My processing machine is a desktop with an attached external 4Tb USB3 drive (cost around £100). When I have completed a capture session I copy the files to the 4Tb (over my network) and process them from there. That way I never work on the only c...

Very good Brian.
