Autostakkert or dodgy camera?

[Simon Pepper]

Hi all,

Just taken a 3 minute video of the moon and I can see the bayer or pixels (not sure which) clearly in the raw video. After stacking and zooming its making it worse. Have I schooled this or do I have a dodgy camera its new out the box today?

Autostakkert raw video frame and stacked open in PI and zoomed in

 

Thanks

Autostakkert is a very simple program to use as it only stacks the video images, not a lot to go wrong there in my opinion. Just ensure you select a good cut off point on the graph and a reasonable, say 20 points, for the “select AP Grid”.

What program did you use to make the video?

I think it more likely that errors were made in the video program, especially as you say that you can see it in the raw video. I use FireCapture and there are a number of settings that if not used correctly will result in images such as the one you have shown. 
I’m pretty sure your camera is blameless.

Good luck.

Hi Moonshed

I used the ASI pro on video mode I think it was 720p and outputs an avi file. I’ll try the ZWO FB forums as looking at the three videos I have captured I see this pattern in all of them. When I view the video in just windows player I see it but not so apparent 

Thanks
