Hi just wondering if i need to recapture my darks ,flats and bias after adding a 0.7x reducer to my imaging train?,thanks

thanks guys 3 great images emerging there loads better than my effort,like i mentioned above think i need to refocus more often through my sessions and probably on filter changes.Do you think the images i am getting are ok to continue collecting .Thanks once again for your time/effort means i can continue capturing.The rotational problem is my fault and can be rectified easy as i was adjusting the back focus ect which i think is ok now, just not convinced about the focus though,will continue trying though thanks

thanks

link to the fits files thanks https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UMboRUaYxgO4JTti7vjnNv_FcbFpg5t3?usp=sharing

not as colourful i never saved the image as after 2 hours processing was not happy with the result so never saved it😪

Thanks Tony appreciated,always had soft focus with my c8,but the original images were taken when i used to autofocus at the start on a lum filter and use this focus all session,now i tend to autofocus every filter change(even then not sure this is the problem).Nice to see a decent image can still be produced thanks again

would appreciate that thanks

well struggling with processing again ,just wondered if anyone can give my 4 calibrated images a quick process so i can confirn my calibration and original qualities are ok,spent hours last night and finished up with an ok image but not much colour,find myself reluctant to spend any more imaging time till i get my processing sorted thanks https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lG4uxfavv2kd1FcNWTMh2sCevT1MMsPH?usp=sharing

Hi after years of focusing and using that setting for the session on every filter I've realised that I neeed to refocus more often as well as every filter, just wondered what you do.. Thanks

The op😁

Must admit I've just tried this target And having same problem with the lum filter

Well everytime I switch on my laptop I get the Windows 11 upgrade, just wondered if anyone had tried it yet, and how compatable it was with their setup and drivers cheers iwols

well i finished up funnily enough with the elitech temperature and humidity sensor wifi and what a difference it makes to the dehumidifiers built in controls and the phone app means i can check it anytime without going to the obsy,just hope the controller lasts ,will attach image of before and after fitting the elitech

Hi all just wondered if anyone could recommend me the above to plug my dehumidifier in as although my humidifier works great the switch built in isnt perfect thanks

Thanks guys and what do you measure the humidity with please

hi all just wondered what level you keep the humidity at in your obsy,mine is between 50 and 65% but not sure what it should be thanks

Thanks Tony will have to look into the StarXTerminator as ive never used this before,watched literally hours if not days of pixinsight tutorials but never got totally to grips with pi over the last few years,ive had some good images but mostly luck than actually having the perfect workflow,and i also find my C8 images more challenging to process than my ts optics images.

well Tony that last image is a world apart from mine,thanks,regarding hi level cloud must admit these lights were taken with a 3/4 moon,one last thing, i understand your workflow except register RGB with L.Thanks for your input and time highly appreciated👍

what was your workflow Tony?

thanks akb must admit your attempt is quite a bit better than mine and definately better stars ,regarding focus it was bang on,,its a problem i seem to have with my c8 edge ,hoping the reducer was going to make it better but stars still seem soft,thanks for the image any way appreciated 👍

hi thanks link to original fits thanks https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m2c35zd70ifcac9/AACnbNMtQT5IWvfhk7QKAOaaa?dl=0

hi thanks,c8 edge 0.7x reducer on a heq5 ,414 ex camera with filter wheel guided,last night with 3/4 moon,processed in pi cheers

hi all just trying pixinsight with a different work flow ,not loads of data( about 20 mins of each lrgb) ,how would you improve this please,and how do you spread out amount of l against rgb thanks
