Reduce exposure during dithering saves 1.0s individual frames.

Hi Robin,

The reduce exposure whilst dithering in live stack mode is a wonderful feature. However, when the save individual frames box is checked, I often find a few stray 1.0s exposures in the rawframes folder.

Not a major bug, I just delete them, but I thought I should mention it. The first time I noticed this was when I loaded all the frames from that folder in WBPP in Pixinsight, which separated them out from my normal 30s exposures.

I'm not sure when this occurs, as in right after the dither is initiated or whilst phd2 is settling, but they seem to be slipping through consistently with every session using my parameters.

Let me know if you need extra info.

Cheers,
Minos

Hi,
I have had this to what I do is activate the brightness filter in the live stack and set the threshold to exclude the 1s exposures so you at least do not see them in the live stack. You still need to manually delete them in the raw frames folder though.

Cheers
