MM617 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hey guys, I'm still very new to this so please forgive me if this is a newbie mistake of some sort. I'm running into a strange issue lately, when I import my files to DeepSkyStacker all light frames have a severe horizontal line pattern on them which is obviously no better in the final stacked image.. below is a screenshot of a single FITS file, it is a shot of Andromeda at 120 seconds with a ZWO 178MC camera, but the lines also appear on lower exposure times. The funny part is, I also have the trail version of Pixinsight which processes the files without those issues 🤷♂️ So I'm wondering now.. is this some kind of glitch in my DSS software or should I get a new camera? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterCPC Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Which version of DSS are you using? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterCPC Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 OK. Presumably the lights do not show these lines before importing? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM617 Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Correct, if I open them in a FITS previewer they look normal and that's basically what Pixinisight confirms with stacking them normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterCPC Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Have you checked the RAW/FITS DDP Settings? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie85 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I remember having this problem before myself but I cannot remember how I fixed it. I think I had a box ticked that I shouldn't have. I know this isn't much help but at least you know it's not your camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael8554 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 There have been a few problems with 4.2.3 over the past few days, they're up to 4.2.5 with the test builds. But your problem may just be settings. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael8554 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Full Version of 4.2.5 has been released, might fix your problem 🙂 Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM617 Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 Apologies for the silence I have been fighting for a while, ended up fully reinstalling it and then reset back to default settings to be sure and that worked But I'll update to the latest version anyways.. thanks for the heads up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
