Very nice well done excellent result

4hrs 28mins data 240 sec subs , taken over three nights , dithered in APT , idas D2 filter, Nikon D5300 , Tecnosky 70Q stacked in DSS processed in Startools 1.7.430 ,flats and bias as darks taken .

platesolving at start of session will solve this assuming imaging

There’s a new update due yesterday the bak file is in programs - Apt folder- should have all your settings , reinstall with latest stable version 👍.

Settings are in the bak file which should be ok .

try using astap in sgp im sure you can

So I have been using AnyDesk to monitor pc in shed no problems other than screen resolution not best quality, but recently there has been an update and now I can’t see remote screen desktop on my laptop I’m logged in can access files , I can access via phone no problem, I uninstalled on both pc completely removing, reinstalled same problem so it must be my laptop setting maybe win10 or maybe firewall has anyone else had this happen and resolved the issue . regards Dave

Thanks all I need to do is align two fit files one is ha and one red I want to merge into one file if possible to create a new red file containing ha data .

Can i stack and align two fit files in siril if so how ,can someone tell me step by step i usually use scripts in siril and find the manual process in siril complicated .

Tweak the green channel down slightly nice image though 👍

If your platesolving syncing on stars goes out the window, I use APT and use astap as the platesolving program , using go to++ is bang on target 🎯

Asda sell their own brand of baking paper looks like tracing paper that’s good for dimming few layers as required

You could have a faulty panel I would drop an email to manufacturer

Have you installed the drivers for camera ,

Some info here Ivo Jager Startools developer @jager945 talks a bit more about gpu in the thread

Put a claim in against delivery company for a new one or get funds back from seller it’s their courier

A set of wind chimes may work close to your neighbours bedroom 😉

Superb well done .96 hrs thats dedication

some anomaly going on with bright stars but a good start

Probably not a lot it can’t do @jager945 Startools developer could tell you if there’s anything it can’t do that pi or ps can do

+1 for Startools

I use a qhy mini guidescope 130mm fl with a 200pds not had any problems with flexure , though Williams optics just released a mini guide scope too , maybe oag better at a longer fl can’t see your guidescope being a problem .

I believe the total rms needs ideally to be under 1 your at 2.25 , check pa and balance , go east heavy on balance , run the guiding assistant before guiding on your target , post your phd2 guide log on another thread others may be able to help Hone your settings , how do stars look if they’re round then yay 👍, try and stick to one target and get at least 4hrs of data your images will look less noisy try and get 12hrs on a target , well done getting a clear sky 👍 and well done imaging a good nights work .

I have bought a few items over the years good seller never had a problem they were the first supplier i ever saw with BST eyepieces , been tradiny for quite a few years .
