Subject: Astro IIDC dark frames and "Use Sharpness for Capture" issues
In the manual Milton states that Dark frame subtraction is really only
appropriate for 1 sec exposures or longer. Does this mean that I should
just forget about making dark frame movies for Planetary imaging? I
suppose I should have the box checked for automatic hot and cold pixel
subtraction, assuming my MacBook is fast enough (you mention the CPU
load).
Also I notice that if when capturing images of Saturn I don't seem to
be able to "Use Sharpness for Capture" option. The movie starts but no
frames are captured, implying that nothing "is good enough" for the
software! I am using the default settings. Perhaps you can advise.
