The Quantum Efficiency of the SBIG is probably better due to the use of the kodak chips in those rigs. When using Mono your using the whole pixel array to get...
I may be wrong but don't you want to take a 0.000 sec bias frame? For transmission noise (bias) only? If you had the shutter closed (or whatever) it would be a...
Correct. A bias frame, by definition, has a zero duration exposure. A frame with any measurable exposure is a dark frame. You should have the shutter closed in...
Hi all, Tonight was my first use of the Orion Autoguider on my CPC1100; installed an Orion ShortTube 80A to use as a guidescope. My photos began to fog or show...
Hi, Luis. You told us what you were using for guiding, but not what camera you use for imaging, what telescope, and whether you are imaging under dark skies or...
Hi Wayne, Good point. I use an Orion StarShooter II and CPC1100. My backyard is relatively dark, with a few street lights nearby. The Moon was full and within...
I can't speak to the SS II (I have the original one). What program were you using to capture the image? If you were using Nebulosity, the gain control is on...
Can you take a .000 sec exposure? 1/2000th seems to be the shortest exposure the software will let me take. Regardless, what is the average signal level on...
I'm using Maxim Essentials; Nebulosity keeps crashing the computer. Only processing on the image was dark substract. I am halfway between Phoenix and Tucson,...
Hope folks don't mind my posting this here. I saw that Orion is offering an adaptive optics guider starting some time in December. The description is a bit...
With the starshoot 2 and nebulosity you have to pick the camera as an ASCOM camera. You need to have ASCOM 5a installed and the starshoot ASCOM driver. If you...
Hi Rich, I have the ASCOM V5 installed. The crash always came as the camera was imaging, say 4-5 images then an error message (406) and crash. I just gave up...
I'm new to using my original version of the color Orion deep space camera. I am only interested in monochrome images at this point. Can I leave my images in...
Been looking for a way to do that myself, best (and actually only) way I've found so far was binning the images 2x2, it automatically makes them monochrome....
You can take the images via the 1x1-raw format or you "can" take color then change the color to monochrome in maxim dl 5, but not in the essentials edition....
The capture software of my Orion StarShoot I gives the option of setting bias, but the manual doesn't discuss this. How do I determine the proper bias setting?...
How did you settle on the 1000 value? The problem I'm having with the StarShoot, in addition to an apparent lack of sensitivity, is that there's not much range...
Nebulosity used to have a feature that would automatically set the bias. In the notes about the feature Craig Stark stated that it attempted to set the level...
