Title: When Imaging goes wrong
Post by: mickw on May 14, 2011, 18:31:33
Here's one from DSC, with failures of hardware and software I'd assumed I only had 2 subs so didn't bother with darks, flats or bias frames.
Turns out I had 8 good subs - this is with wrong flats, 4 degree warmer darks and bias - basically, a cock up.
Leo Triplet done wrong...........

Can't believe the result, I even killed the bunnies  :o

Mick,

The thing is you know where you are going wrong, I can't even get that far yet. :!
I am waiting to get something just like that, and I'll be well chuffed. ;)
