The first problem with LCD's is that they are limited to 6 or 8 bits per pixel, either by the design of their circuits, or the interface (HDMI / DVI are 8 bits...
... Actually this is changing - some HDTV panels now exceed 8-bits and HDMI 1.3 supports "deep color", which is up to 12-bits per color channel (but I am not...
There isn't a shipping computer graphics card that currently supports >8 bit content. They may not either in the future, because of royalty costs associated...

Hi all, I took advantage of the couple of clear nights last week to grab 2.5 hours of Ha on M1. I was experimenting using SmartTrack, my version of ProTrack...
Hi John, Nice image, especially for unguided subs (even with tracking help!) There seems to be a little pattern noise though - are you using bias frames? ...
Hi Darren, ... frames? The narrow vertical banding? I do use bias/dark/flat frames. I'm not sure where that banding comes from - I can't see it by stretching...
John, In regard to the noise bars I would recommend you not use bias frames in your calibration. They seem to bring out these vertical artifacts. Also, in some...
I have a problem I need to resolve and I thought that I'd ask the group for help. This would be fairly easy to do in Unix (even though I've forgotten so much...
I'm just getting my Paramount calibrated and polar aligned. I did attempt a test using ProTrack of this same object a week ago. The results are here: ...
Hi Ray, Interesting, I've got all the raws so I'll try again disabling the bias calibration. I need to take some more darks, I had limited time last time I...
Extract the EXE into the directory where you have the files, and it will tell you which ones it renamed. I assume to look up to the first ".", and remove...

Hi Michelle, I'm glad you found the vbscript useful. I don't usually program in vbscript but it seemed to be the right tool for this particular job. I found...
