@jdlbt it’s the asi294mc pro. Darks and lights were captured at roughly the same temperature factoring in the temp swing over the course of the night but still only a few degrees difference. The cooler ran at the start of the night and dropped it down to where I targeted.

The sequencer file says it dithering was enabled and working but based on what you’re suggesting I’m guessing it didn’t do that correctly. I do see the hot spots in the darks as you mentioned which backs that.

Ok where are my #astrophotography or #pixinsight people? I’m struggling with the output of WBPP. I’ve got what I believe to be clean darks, flats, dark flats but I’m getting horrible noise and black spots in the resulting image. Nothing I change in the integration settings will eliminate them either.

Sample images from my 16hr Veil image:

Seeing #kiss live is the closet thing I’ve had to a religious experience in ages. They’re a band I’ve wanted to see since I was probably 8 or 9… and that was in the 70s. Can’t express how important it was that I was finally able to see them play.

My sinuses are on fire. So much smoke, vape, and weed in the air, even for an outdoor event.

And now we play the game of ‘which day do I want to suck the most because I have to ration pills’ again. I hate the artificial supply constraints on drugs that I need to survive.

Just once I want a head coach to come out to the media scrum after the game, toss his checkbook on the table, scribble out the amount of the fine and go off on the refs. They desperately need to be called out on their incompetence.

And another ref show at the hockey game. JFC these guys are horrible. No matter how many how much you pay your former official to spew the corporate line it doesn’t change the fact they they blew it. Again.

I don’t want to say that I’m done with hockey and the #nhl … but until they fix the officiating and radically overhaul how things are called, it’s approaching baseball levels of stupidity.

I’ve been hitting the job boards the last few weeks with a few applications submitted. I will be picking up the pace on that on Monday. I am looking for a senior architect role with a focus on virtualization, enterprise applications, or cloud operations. I’m primarily interested in opportunities that are fully remote but that isn’t a firm requirement at the moment. My IT career started in the early 90s. I’ve survived three crashes. I’ll survive this one too.

By now you’ve seen a lot of posts about yesterday’s layoffs at #aws and I’m sad to say I was impacted too. A little over two years with the company. I have lots of good things to say but some fair criticisms to go with it. I learned a ridiculous amount of stuff about the cloud operating model, wild tech stacks, people and process, and quite a bit more about myself.

I’m taking a day or two to settle and get my head in the right space. The anxiety of not know is finally gone and I can rest.

So here a rough edit of #M101. Selected the top 80% of the six hours worth of light frames, stacked them with a mosaic merge, and pulled them into #pixinsight for some processing. Didn’t do too much yet but I like where it’s going. #astrophotography #Astrodon #stilllearning

That time when you realize you have over six hours of #M101 that isn’t exactly aligned, but DSS mosaic mode will stitch it all together...

That time when you realize you have over six hours of #M101 that isn’t exactly aligned, but DSS mosaic mode will stitch it all together nicely. Let’s see what happens shall we?
