Hi all, I accidentally saved my DSO frames to FitsInt instead of Fits format, and on the longer Luminance frames, all the bright stars have black centers. I...
Thanks everyone. The Hutech IDAS filter has a transmission curve that makes a little more sense for those of us wanting to image RGB! Now that I see the data,...
