I’m using siril for stacking and gimp for editing the stacked image. I have a Mac so Mac software is useful and easier than messing about trying to use windows programs. I’m using cloudmakers software for my camara and guiding settings

Thanks for all the great reply’s. all the info I get from people is so helpful and appreciate it so much!

Why is guiding with a f10( I haven’t got a reducer) difficult? I wouldn’t be putting the guide cam into that it will be in my 6x30 finder scope.

Thanks for the reply. I’m using a un modded cannon 700d dslr with my Celestron advance gt 8” schmidt cassegrain scope. Camara control using AstroDSLR, Stacking with Siril and editing on gimp. Only last night I ordered the ZWO ASI 120MM Mini USB 2.0 Mono Camera so that I can start guiding and hopefully take longer exposures, I will be using Astroguiding that are software only for Mac but great to use. I’m not sure if it is dithering because the noise is not really lines but stationary noise. I don’t know that’s why I’m here. Thanks again for your comments

Hello all. I need help with my imaging. The photo of the whirlpool galaxy is 30,90s iso 800 subs. 50 darks at the same iso, same temp and same exposure, 50 bias and 50 flats. Why am I getting so much noise? All the pictures I take are the same. Excuse the two finger marked on bodes galaxy didn’t realize I had touched my scope until after my imaging session. Bodes photo was 40, 60s 800 iso subs, same flats,darks,bias. can anyone help?
