Good looking image Jim,much improved over your earlier version.

Any idea on the cost of the pier yet?

One-shot color image processing: HELP!!!

Posted By Jason Boyce

Luca,I use the ST-2000xcm as well,with the same spots.99% of the spots disappear when I do my dark subtract.Try a single dark of the same length and temp.If some spots still remain the remove hot pixel tool in CCDops usually will kill the rest.

I dont see any need to split and dark subract the channels seperatly.
Stacking more shots also greatly reduces the amount of speckles.
I have a master dark of about 15 shots,it still doesnt work as well as a single dark of the same length and temp does, so I will keep taking darks to add to it.
