I seem to have a lot of noise or amp glow (or both) in my guide camera exposures. I like the idea of the "Subtract Dark Frame" checkbox in the Guide Module, but I continually get a "No suitable dark frames or defect maps found. Please run the Dark Library wizard in Capture module" message in the status box when I do. I suspect it's because the dark library I created for this non-cooled camera doesn't have a listed temperature for the dark masters (snapshot below), so Ekos cannot find a suitable dark frame.
Unless I'm missing something for creating a dark library for a non-cooled camera, I think Ekos needs an additional flag to NOT select a master dark based on temp, or allow me to specify a temp for the dark frame, or maybe even extract a valid temp from a temp sensor (like the EAF or something). Extracting the sensor temp from my main cooled camera would be a mistake because the guide camera would/should be close to ambient.
Temperature is already not a consideration as you can see by the invalid temperature there. So if it is complaining, then it's either duration or binning. Is the guide frame binned 2x2?
Yes, it certainly is/was. There is something strange going on. I changed the Guider and Via pull-down menus a few times and it started working. Seems there is something that's not loaded up correctly on initial startup? I tried disconnecting and reconnecting, etc. Working now - thanks.
