I had a couple of goals for the evening:
- try again to make flat frames: software background extraction struggles removing the vignette with large bright objects (e.g. M31). I tried using the large LED flashlight but it made a spot too small so I ended using the small astro LED flashlight. The flat stack seemed to have a bright spot and that ended up showing on the live stack (as a dark spot). The images below were saved directly from ASILive (and deNoised afterwards). My stacking script has some issues with calibration frames.
- use FireCapture / ASIVideoStack to image Jupiter, Saturn and some planetary nebulas
