Before packing it in for galaxy season thought I would try to image juptiter. A quick search indicated to take a video and then stack the individual frames. I tried using the streaming tab in the CCD panel but appear to be doing it wrong from the results I am getting. I used a EdgeHD 9.25 with x0.7 reducer and ASI071 RGB camera. I'll attach a single frame shot compared to what the .ser file looks like. Can anyone advise on technique, panel settings or provide a working .ser file showing how it is supposed to look.
Last night I attempted another run to see if I could determine whether it was simply that a stretch was being forced on the collected frames. In that case unless it can be made optional streaming would not be suitable for planetry work.
Unfortunately I could not get past a CCD driver crash every time it ran.
Turns out to be the last thing I would have expected, the name of the output file. A name under 4 characters results in a crash. M11 fails M11_ is okay.
Thanks for the report, I tracked the bug and fixed it in GIT. Regarding the saturated image, I'm not sure. Was this 16bit? what video format exactly? RGB or bayer?
Jasem,
The original panel and these two might have the information you ask for. It is a ASI071 one shot colour camera so I think 16bit RAW bayer would be the answer. 40ms exposure for the individual frames and and 30 or 120 seconds for elapsed time was what was intended, assuming I did not get them the wrong way round in the panel settings.
I don't need it myself, I would mostly like to know if it can be reproduced or if others are able to successfully produce .ser files.
