gonzostar Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Hi I have acquired a ZWOASI385MC, and this is the first picture taken with it on Monday 30th . Captured with sharp cap, Using the C8 at F10. No idea which area this is though 😁 Exposure 77 Gain 33 Does this sound about right? Processed using PIPP, registax and finally PS Not as impressive as your efforts, but its first go with this camera and software Thanks for looking. Of course improvement suggestions welcome Dean 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elp Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Seems okay. Focus a little soft but I suspect it's rather the seeing which is doing it. The best images take lots of images, then stack a small percentage of them in autostakkert or a program like it. Easy to learn how to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzostar Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Thanks for your feed back. Looking back at the AVI file it looks like i'm watching the moon through a puddle! I used PIPP and then Registax. How many frames do you use? Anyway more times I do it the better will get 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elp Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) I typically take 2000-5000 frames per shot when doing planetary type imaging. Then stack around 10 percent. For planets specifically you'll have to research as you're only supposed to do it in batches so the rotation of the planet doesn't get captured within a batch which ends up blurring the stack.
