Re: Issues with short exposures and flats
Alejandro Downloaded the files and the outstanding item seems to be the difference in gain settings between the light (=0) and dark (=100) frames. As a general guideline I set the exposure, gain & brightness for the light frames, keep these exact settings for the dark frames and adjust only the ...

Some of the factors contributing to the images are: The QHY5LII-M and UV/IR filter work well together. The Celestron C8 seems to do well. Hands-off motorised focusing gives bette...
