LDN 889 ASI533 MC Pro test

[fwm891]

I was aiming for 20x 3 min subs but clouds tonight had other thoughts. I managed to get 8x 3min subs with the ASi 533 MC Pro mounted on a RASA 8 and CEM60 (Standard) mount.

To keep some of the variation out of the basic calibration (Darks, Flats and Bias) my processing used PI's Weighted Batch processing routine. I'll use this same routine when I get the extra data.

This has been followed with saturation, curve transformation, SCNR and File transformation. Saved as tiff's, png and jpg. The frame has not been cropped.

No noise reduction used throughout as I wanted to see what the sensor would give me.

Looks a very good start to my uneducated eye.

Looks good, pixel peeping shows up some RGB noise/ hot pixels maybe???

I think that looks great Francis - especially for just 24 minutes worth of data.

Really looking forward to seeing how you get on with your new camera.

Keep forgetting with the RASA to flip the image: Image flipped 🤫
