Hi,

If I want to use the smart histogram, What should I choose in ""measure brightness.. channel "? Blue, green, red or darkest ?

Green is the most common choice since that color is very much present in Zwo camera's.
If your object is very weak and you have (very) good guiding/tracking, you could also go for Darkest. This gives in most cases a longer exposure time.

Thank you,
I thought it should red as most nebulas are rich in red..
And yes I have good guiding/tracking, I will go for Darkest.
