Re: Sensor Analysis Takes forever

I had the same here, right down to the t-shirt.

I got through the first two parts, then it said it was too bright, and refused to go further. I started over with a 2nd layer of tshirt, and it never finished.

This was 3.1.5186. zwo asi-1600mc-cooled.

Re: ASI1600 and offset

OK, I see "Brightness" in the Image controls (vs. camera controls). Thanks for clarifying that. So back to Sensor Analysis, Smart Histogram, and Brain. In the Brain Results section I see Optimal gain but nothing about "Brightness" or offset, and when I hit apply, the gain changes...

camera linearity and brain/smart histogram

For the smart histogram and other calculations are you taking into account any non-linearity (anti blooming) in the camera?

From the plots and tables of data it looks like you have a single e/ADU for each gain value.

Re: Sub-stacks ?

I've been wondering about something similar. For max dynamic range with these new cooled CMOS cameras the sub exposures can be pretty short (especially under light polluted skies), but if you have/need hours and hours of data stacking all at once becomes problematic (for my amount of ram about 300 s...

Re: ASI1600 and offset

Downloaded and installed the latest ZWO driver.

No offset in SharpCap shown, however, in Sequence Generator Pro it is there in their camera settings and per event settings?

Re: ASI1600 and offset

It's there in ASCOM, but only in the ASCOM "show" dialog.

Would that work with the brain?

Brain Window stacking time

Could we have much more total stacking time as part of the drop down.

I'm imaging from a white zone so 10 or 20 hours...

ASI1600 and offset

I don't see an offset adjustment in the ASI1600 camera controls. v3.1.5181 pro, native ZWO driver.

Does that mean that offset will not be adjusted/taken into account in "the brain"?
