Re: M57 Ring Nebula
A nice image - looks like the dithering was effective as I cannot see any 'walking noise' in the dark areas.
cheers,

Re: M57 Ring Nebula
Thank you both. Dithering is necessary, is the best method, maybe the only method, to eliminate 'walking noise'. And SharpCap works very very well with Phd2 and dithering. Thank you ! And the solve and sync works almost instantaneously. Focus also is very fast. I wish only the automated Sequence Capture.
