tomato Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) This is 3.5 hours using the dual Esprit 150 rig and ASI 178 cameras. Lum 32 x 3 min RGB 13 x 3 min each I currently dither on the RGB scope every 3 subs so I'm dropping 1 in 3 Lum subs, but I will try pushing this out to 1 in 4 or 5 as I couldn't see any appreciable walking noise in the final image. Calibrated and stacked in APP, processed in ST 1.7 and AP, I ran it through the PI image solver and annotation scripts to try and identify the numerous background galaxies, but it missed quite a few. Thanks for looking. Edited February 12, 2021 by tomato Correct the title 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Newbould Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Really lovely image! Lots of detail to be appreciated On the note of losing frames on one cam while the other dithers, I know that Astrophotographytool (APT) at least can synchronize dithers for you to prevent that, might be worth a look? https://www.astrophotography.app/usersguide/multi_camera_dithering___synchronizing.htm Hth, Luke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does mean running everything through one laptop, but that should be OK. I will give it a try on my next outing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
