Thanks for the reply
(Tony) I went back and reviewed all the files and found a couple of rogue flats with different iso/exposures,
also started from scratch, built a new directory and run the OSC script to process
and I think we may have cracked it, some annoying dust bunnies have survived though
I have uploaded the resulting TIFF & it looks a lot better I think there is some galaxy in there, thank you so much (Just need to learn how to process now )
(Olly) I will give it a try without the darks and see how that turns out, so much advice out there and some contradictory
I guess every setup is different. I decided on 80 darks and in the end had a run of 160 lights of which 121 were usable this ratio does however seem excessive to me.
Maybe next time I'll just using a few darks at the start of the session and a few from the end when the sensor is up to temp?
Or would you advise against the darks altogether?
Regards
Alex
