First go at imaging with new rigPosted By Jason Boyce |
Hi Charles,
Your off to a great start
Your guiding/tracking looks great.
When it is very warm noise does become a problem.A good basic calibration can go a long way to help reduce it though.It looks like there were probably quite a few hot pixels left in the subs when you stacked this up,probably causing some of the streaks/noise in your image.
A good master dark frame will really help with this,something like 30-50 darks with some kind of data rejection or a median combine would do it.
Since you can go a minute with good guiding I would next try 3-5 minutes and see how that goes.
Your off to a great start,practice makes perfect
