Hi all, I just bought my first mono camera, which I haven't used yet bloody weather, my question is, when you collecting data on nina every channel goes to the same folder, how can you tell wich one is for example the l, r, g, b, I did a trial run at home tuck a few frames on lrgb and when I looked at the folder there were no hint of wich one is wich, hope it makes sense

thanks Patrick, I did realize about the pixels when i actually stack them properly, and you right about the rejection method, I did that ,thanks for the link, that's what i have been doing lately, just try to find information to understand how all that part of astrophotography works, I think I made the mistake of thinking better equipment equals great pictures without realizing the work in between have to be as good if not better, thanks again for the info. Francis

HI Alacant, your method did work, and as you said I try different ways, darks did make everything worst, your way did the job but I tried flats and dark flats and seems to give a cleaner image, thanks for pointing me on the right direction, for a moment I thought I bought a lemon. This one with just flats and offset values, plus have to remove the other picture it was hurting my eyes lol

Hi Michael I'm not sure, I used the same process that I learn wile using the other camera but obviously something is not right, been trying all day to see what is wrong but with no joy thanks for the reply

Hi thanks for the reply offset was 50, I will give tat a go, I know you said to keep it simple, but nothing is simple when you you are a 60 year old newbie, some times a surprise my self that I learn to use all this programs haha, When you say enter =70 in use bias do you mean i don't have to take biases just enter the =70 thanks

I don't know if this is got anything to do with it but I was searching youtube for any info and seen some one that have problems with the zwo driver on nina , so i try taking a 300 s dark, cloudy out there again so not chance of taking lights frames, the frame takin with the zwo driver is a bit 16 and the histogram is close to the left but with the ascom driver as you can see is bit 12 and histogram is close to the middle, withch one is correct

i tuck the flats with nina, using a light panel, and stacked the lights, flats ,darks and bias with deep sky staker, same way i always do with my other camera, apart from the camera the set up is the same

this one was calibrated with siril without any calibrations frames, autostreched, 60 frames at 300 seconds 100 gain and l xtream filter, it was a full moon and the target realy low so 300 seconds was a bit over kill but as i said, i was just trying the camera, giding was 0.6, 0.9, and i did manually focus

I bought a second hand 533 MC a couple of days ago, I was made up that the sky was clear that night so I was able to test it, wen i was imagen with nina I starting live staking with sharcap and as the images were staking i notice that the hot pixels where not aligning, and when I try to process then with siril and autostrech the image this is the result, staking them with siril didn't work, After dark subtraction, the image contains many negative pixels (99%), calibration frames are probably incorrect was the message every time i try but i tuck the calibrations frames at same temperature and gain , I was using a zwo 585 before that with not problem at all, is it the camera or im i doing something wrong
