Darks

[adamsp123]

Can anyone recommend a reasonable number of dark exposures to use when stacking in DSS?

My other fred in the Imaging - Tips, Tricks and Techniques arena seems to have fallen on stoney ground

Pete, I tend to use between 10 and 15, it seems to be enough to do a fairly decent job, but not so many it's gonna take many hours to complete.

Ah the joys of the obs...

I leave the camera running dark all day make a note of the temp at the start and end

This way I have as many as I like to play with...

I tend to use between 30 and 40 of each of the types of calibration frames...

I go for 30,I set them running between when I finish imaging and dawn.

Cheers Guys,

I will use a chamber at work to set up a library of darks, I have one of those portable timers and so whilst at work I can get darks sorted for a whole range of temps and exposures, I'll go for between 30-40 frames for each set.
