Sensor Analysis - ZWO ASI178MC
Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2018 1:27 pm
I'm looking for some additional detail regarding exactly how to do this. The brief instructions mention preference for a natural light source and low levels. I read others mentioning using a white t-shirt or otherwise. Some are doing it inside and not outside. Please let me know if this is an acceptable method:
- Make sure the settings are for RAW capture
- Point the telescope to a clear blue sky away from the sun
- Install a white cloth or t-shirt over the end
- Do the Sensor Analysis procedure. If an error indicates it's too bright, add another layer of t-shirt
- Continue until successful
- Repeat for all RAW bit options
Thanks!
