Help with BIAS frames

[Mav359]

Hi Guys

After reading Making Every Photon Counts i have taken a number of Short Exposure shots to create a re-usable BIAS master frame.

They all look pitch black and when i try to stack them it always fails, any ideas what i am doing wrong? i have tried using Maximm & Deep Sky Stacker.

With Maxim you don't need to stack them as you would your lights. Use the calibration set up tool, tell Maxim the folder your bias frames are in and it will combine them for you.

I see,

Do i not get an outputted master file?, i went through the calibration but nothing seems to happen.

Just click the "replace with masters" button and Maxim will generate the master bias.

WOW, i took 194 shots and maxim just spat out the result. Amazing what the sigle shot doesnt show up.

Thanks for all the help Johnrt
