I used to Bin 2x2 with my OSC because my old laptop could not cope with the size of1x1 binning and was happy with the results (mostly!).
I now have a new, more powerful laptop which can cope with 1x1 binning what difference will this make to the images?
and do my Flats and Dark Flats have to be binned 1x1 as well?
Thanks
Ron

Where were you Steve?

Hi Joe, just up the road in Newark. You might want to check out ELAC?
East Lincolnshire Astronomy Club.
Good bunch with plenty going on and a good dark site.
Cheers

The camera was not moved and the set up etc was identical.
I'm going to do a range of Flats and spend time stacking to see which is best.
Many thanks

Not the same time but the same set up..

Hi Olly, some of the dust bunnies still show along with some lines..
(I called in to see you a couple of years ago, looking for Vultures!)

What exposure are folk using for DSLR (Canon 1100d) Flats. I did some 0.025s Flats that looked good, ie 50% on the APT Histogram but don't seemed to have worked on the finished, stacked image??

Have you tried Sharpcap??
-
I put mine over the glass for maximum heat transference..

If you get a solid tube Dob, you can always mount it later on a Goto mount?
I should stay away from Zooms and get individual EP's of your choice.

Yes, like that but I also put a white T shirt between the scope and the light panel..

I'm out as well, M63 tonight with a Triband filter...

But how do I stop Ascom from writing log files??
-
My laptop displayed a message last night saying minimum storage left!!
I checked it out and so far have found 2,560,000 Ascom log files taking up 21.5 Gb+
of storage. The files went back to Jan 2019 when I did an Ascom update.
Anyway bit by bit I am deleting them to make space on the HDD, I know
PHD has log files and I regularly delete them but it's worth checking your
/Documents/Ascom/logs !!!
