hi had varying opinions but just wondered if anyone can tell me the camera settings they are using in nina for this camera /sensor,specifically the default offset ,using an altair astro 26m but suspect the 2600 and other versions will be the same,im using 0 for default offset and not 50 as in image, and also fan 1 instead of 0 in the image ,thanks please ignore arrow

Wow I'm beginning to think you didn't get the correct image data as well😊 that's a fantastic image you've made there budgie out of approx 20 mins data,I could only dream of creating that image from my subs I really need a standard workflow for pi , which I seem to have struggled with for years once again thank you 🙏

approx 20 mins just need to know my camera is collecting data ok

hi new camera and filters ,just tried some sho imaging(ic1396,elephant trunk) and not happy with my processed image ,can anyone do me a very quick sho process in PI please,3 stacked lights that have been calibrated with flats and bias but no darks and not much integration time ,but dont want to keep capturing if my settings are wrong,thanks https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/f54gyt2ebbgs77c0d3i3x/h?rlkey=jhof52rdoyoxhrvmojrio5wrv&dl=0

anyone using a altair astro 26m with nina or similar ? thanks

hi just coming from a ccd to cmos camera, altair astro 26m imx571 sensor but not sure what settings for gain,default offset,usb limit,high gain mode,ultra mode and fan speed in camera settings in nina to use ,can anyone give me some advice as never had to change a setting with my 414ex ccd camera thanks

Indeed the 23911 was the new antlia filters luckily 😁

thers also the altair version mid way which looks interesting

Hi been looking at the imx 571 mono sensor as a upgrade camera ,but the more i look the worse it get especially now we have rising cam/TP models at a lot less cost to the normal ZWO/Qhy versions,has anyone had experience with these as here in the uk the price gap is very large ,any thoughts comments appreciated

Is this viewable at the moment?

sorry😁

thanks Martin we will see😁

Hi just changed all my lrgb/sho filters.Two fits files from the old HA and the new one, any thoughts on quality difference(not saying which is which yet😁) thanks Target NGC 7000---- filter HA ----Frame 0000 ----Exposure 300.00 --Angle 45.10 --- focus 23911.fits Target NGC 7000---- filter HA ----Frame 0001 ----Exposure 300.00 --Angle 298.30 --- focus 24470.fits

Well going to upgrade my camera eventually but need to go to the 36mm sized filters,just wondered if anyone had any comments on the above 3 types of filter both lrgb and narrowband thanks

Thanks So the 55mm back focus isn't a problem if you only have the filter wheel in your chain

That's a good call but not enough difference in the field of view of my 414ex thanks though

Hi just wondered if anyone had gone this route or similar and had any comments/thoughts/advice thanks

just looking at the 294 not sure i would be happy with the amp glow (i know it may be possible to calibrate out) and overall image calibration time,ah well my mind gets more confused thanks guys

do you think that flats would correct the 2600 on the 1.25" just for now as i am thinking ,get the asi2600 try them on the 1.25" then move to the 36mm filter/wheel in time?

hi my only second attempt at sho 60 mins Ha 40 mins oiii 40 mins siii any comments suggestions welcome thanks Image17blur x.tif

thanks guys

Hi all looking at possible upgrade from atik 414 ex ccd to asi 2600 mm pro cmos and in astronomy tools it says minimum filter size is 30.73 for my ts optics 100mm scope,so would my 1.25" filters be ok or am i near the bone,also any other comments suggestions on this upgrade appreciated,im aware of the field of view side of it ,thanks ,is it worth a try 1.25" = 31.75mm

been there with a different make of camera, its annoying,as usual try cables ,different ports and even a different pc if possible-youve probably already done this-good luck

thats a good start prefer the second image ,maybe slightly out of focus? but good start
