Yes you can adjust phd2 scale to suit to get right calculations

dither of 4 gives you maximum dither of 19 pixels with phd2 scale set to 1

If back yard calculates same as APT then download my spreadsheet to calculate dither , download and edit to suit your equipment you need a dither around 15 pixels https://aptforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3157 look down the thread for download

Bortal 8 - M31 - help!!
bottletopburly replied to astrobena's topic in Imaging - Image Processing, Help and Techniques
You can make a bias and dark library take about thirty of each and change every quarter so don’t use one taken in summer and use in winter so the ambient temp is roughly the same , so on your imaging night all you need is lights and flats , take say 120 sec subs if you can depending on your setup not sure if you can dither with a star adventurer I think you can . -

I just read a post on Startools forum and thought worthy of a share a chap with colour blindness finding using Startools rgb colour check finally allowed him to process his images giving him correct colour so if your colour blind this may be helpful to read . https://forum.startools.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2118&p=9427#p9427 @jager945
