Wishing well on a short exposure - camera testing.
Posted: Sun Feb 21, 2021 10:04 pm
I have here another short time imaging, now on the Wishing Well open cluster and its neighbour open clusters. I was testing the control of SharCap on a QHY Camera. The main issue is that QHY cameras seems not to have a smooth temperatures control, so I was trying to lower and then rise the temperature slowly, in a time span of 3 to 4 minutes.
The image was taken using the WO SpaceCat, on february 19th.
Camera QHY183c
40 images of 30 seconds
Temperature -5C
Mount iOptron SkyGuider Pro with iPolar
Later stacking using DSS, processing using PxI and GIMP.
So far I am using also from SharpCap the Live Stack and Quick Capture system (I just stop them when I needed), and also the Flat assistant, which is really useful.
