Terry looks like these days you can only download about forty frames I split a SER file into 501 FITS files using PIPP, then loaded and combined the 501 individual files into a SER file using PIPP x64 ver 2.5.9. I have never come across a 40 limit - maybe PIPP 32-bit? Capture.JPG There is no need fo...

Thanks Tim. Good luck with the lunar imaging.

Tim An interesting link which brings out some conflicting advice (as usual with this type of thread). I have done OK with the Celestron C8 SCT. According to the Astronomy Tools CCD Suitability Calculator the C8 with my cameras leads to slight over-sampling which becomes worse with the addition of th...

Good to hear you have sorted out your problem. Systematic capturing of calibration frames and an understanding of the histogram are big steps in producing decent images.

I purchased the book linked to in post #14 - a very useful read. Having thought about a project like this, a few things come to mind: Moving location, maybe a different latitude would alter the mount elevation. Tracking, polar alignment during the day. Take all the gear to some location other than t...

See
viewtopic.php?t=7382. I have been re-processing lunar images with waveSharp. As always with new software, a time investment is needed to get the best out of it.

That turned out very well with the VX12 particularly given the conditions. It would be interesting to see what lunar images this scope can produce.

I found this APOD https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap101222.html of the object.
