Thanks adam, if you look at one of the light frames you can see lots of red and blue pixels but I dont know why they are in my image

Thanks Adam, it was only a test of my camera and I only managed 25 subs, would more subs stop the red and blue pixels ?

Here is the link to my dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/aj8u1tleokryulp/AAARZXn5lWqK0sS69bfCefnUa?dl=0 The top file is where all my lights and calibration frames are in.

If you zoom in to the image you can see lots of red and blue pixels, I had a friend of mine who run it through Pixinsight and he could see the pixels in the image. I streched the dark frames and they looked ok. I did not dither either. I have all the FIT files in my dropbox which I can send you if you like.

I stacked just the light frames and they are still in that image.

No darks are fine.

I done my flat frames aiming for a value of 28000 ADU i used a tablet, i have tried stacking just the lights but still no good.

Hi, I have now added the image.

Hi all Can anyone help. I just purchased a ASI294MC Pro camera, I tried it out for the first time on my Redcat and a UV/IR filter, from my very light polluted garden (Bortle 8-9) I shot 25 x 180 second exposures at 120 gain and -20, I also shot 20 dark frames at the same settings as my lights i also done 20 x flats and dark flats at 2.5 second exposures gain 120 and at -20. I ran them through APP creating master dark, master flat and master dark flat files also a bad pixel map, once APP done it thing the final image had lots of red and blue pixels in it, I tried stacking them gain but this time I tried sigma clipping but I ended up with the same result I even tried Windsor and MAD sigma clipping but I still had red and blue pixels in my image, even when I stacked just the light frames I still had red and blue pixels. My friend has stacked them in Pixinsight and he gets the same issue.Can anyone help or have I got a faulty camera ? Thanks.

Hi All, I want to make the jump from a Canon 600D to a dedicated cooled OSC Camera, but i dont know what ZWO Camera to get, i have the following Telescope and Lenses. TS Optics Triplet 480mm Focal Length William Optics Redcat 250mm Focal Length Samyang 135mm F2 Lens What is the best ZWO Camera to get ? Thanks

Hi All, I am trying to make a list of targets i can image through the year with my Samyang 135 lens and a unmoded Canon 600D can anyone give me some targets i can go after please. Many thanks

Hi Adam, The reason I want a colour camera is purely the time it takes to shoot a image also the extra money needed to buy the filters.

Hi Adam, I have made my mind up and going for the ZWO183C, like you Saud the smaller pixels will be better suited for my ZS61.

Thankyou very much for the detailed reply, I understand Altair are releasing a cooled version of the 183C hypercam, I was looking at the ZWO ASI1600 is this any good, I would prefer a colour cam. Thanks.

Hi All, What are peoples thoughts of the Altair Hypercam Colour V2, i am looking to replace my Canon 600D with one, i have read some good reviews of the Hypercam, can anyone with one give me some Pros and Cons on this Camera. Thanks.
