New camera and trying guiding for the first time, lots to learn and not much chance to get out with the weather recently. I only got the back focus right last night but have not been able to get any shots yet. With the bigger sensor on the 2600 vignetting is a problem and the moon has been bright each time I have had a chance to get outside so not a fair sample of the new set ups capability.

    Interesting usage of the 533. Giant guide camera. Have you got guiding to work reliably to increase your exposures with this setup? What average RMS guiding error does ASIAir report? Still processing with Affinity? I'd be interested in you rworkflow using Affinity after stacking. I've been testing some of the stretching macros on my OSC data of galaxies and find with some of them I can't get good background extraction. In Cloudy Nights I have added some posts to a thread "Astrophotography Macros for Affinity Photo" in the Vendor and Group Announcement forums. I was hoping James Ritson would frequent this forum to answer some of my questions but I guess he's too busy with other activities probably due to Serif being acquired and astrophotography features are not high priority. Have a look at that thread if you use Cloudy Nights. Thanks.

    Hey Steve - Youve made a nice start with these the 2600 is a great camera. Not sure what you're applying to your images but flats should take care of the vignetting and of course darks to get rig of any hot pixels. Which telescope is this and what is the focal length of your guidescope. Clear skies πŸ‘
