M45 IMX571 Mono and OSC

[GalaxyGael]

Very nice, neat idea to get RGB with the osc to mix with mono. Assume no filter wheel at all?

Cheers!

I have an EFW on the mono camera and a filter drawer (and oag) on the OSC.

Looks like you have all possibilities covered there. Very flexible arrangement. On the synchro dither, do you sacrifice a sub on one camera and link the dither wait period to sync with the next pair of subs or another method?

I use SGPro which doesn’t do synchronous dithering so I just accept loss of a sub.  Two minute subs makes this ok. In the past with my CCDs and 20 minute subs, I used APT to synchronise dithering, since losing a long sun was a disaster. However APT doesn’t offer the framing wizard so I’m sticking with SGPro.  I have briefly tried NINA but didn’t stick with it.

There's been quite a bit of work put into the synchronised dithering in NINA so if it was some time ago it could be worth having another look at it.

Good to know, I'm a 2 min sub afficionado also. I switched during the summer to Nina and found it to be amazing, coming from the dso sequencer in sharpcap.
