coloured lines help


Recommended Posts

Hello,

attached is 2 hours worth of 5min subs of m109. ive done a rough process, can someone tell me what the streaked colored lines are?

are they noise and would darks remove them? i dont understand why they are lines as guiding seems good on the stars? something during stacking?

camera is a qhy9c, cooled to -20

would appreciate any help.

many thanks matt

The guiding may be good but it's not perfect. As a result the fov "creeps" along in a certain direction. Registering and stacking then sweeps the objects back in their proper place. But the hot pixels are not from the sky but from the camera, and so this "sweeping back" puts them in new positions for each member of the stack. Result: coloured streaks.

Darks should sort them out, or a cosmetic tool to just replace single outlier pixels by the median of the surrounding ones.

thanks for the replies, yes was stacked in DSS. i have a set of 5min darks at -30, will try that.

is it normal for so many hot pixels like this, is there a problem with the ccd?
