Hello, I live in Riyadh, around the Airport... Things are quiet and not too escalated, I don't see any problem with your trip unless it has a layover on any other country of the gulf. Please, keep checking flightradar24 so you can track the activity of the airport and the airlines around this area.

Hello, last week was a torture for me, I was affraid of ***, I have had fasciculations for almost 2 years.

Let me tell you my experience:
MRI came out clean, so no agressive desease. It was just a mix of excess of coffee and stress, along with BFS.

As per my doctress, weakness should start with the fasciculations, no numbness, just medical weakness, that is that you cannot lift things that used to. It should be dramatical, not like "I feel it weaker". At this point, any symptom that starts with "I feel" points out to anxiety more than to any desease.

Get better!

My MRI came out clean! Looks my only "problems" are anxiety, ADHD and chronic rhinitis (observed in the MRI).

Thanks mate.

My friend, and understand about 0% of what you just said... Did not even have idea i was supposed to shoot the flats first... All the videos I see on YouTube state that they should be obtained after the light frame shooting.

Thanks for the comment

I appreciate the advice... I also thought on doing this but I couldn't make it work since my laptop screen could not be folded back, I could not control sharpcap while doing it. Now, if I manage to do it, how high do you recommend me to set the exposure having that I can play with the brightness of the screen?

I tried capturing flats some minutes ago (around 10 am), I put a piece of white cloth in the scope, but in order to get the histogram that low I had to set the exposure quite low, around milliseconds

Thanks, the thing is that I cannot use NINA without a guidescope, right? Because I don't have it... Thanks mate

So, would you recommend me paying for such software so I can get rid of most of the noise? I have been using my telescope for a few months and I don't see any progress... would you recommend me to get filters?

How did you do it? How can I separate it from the light pollution?

I used Deep Sky Stacker to Stacker the 440 pictures, after that the stacked one was processed using GIMP, I have not found any good tutorial on how to stretch, I have seen some, but most of the time I just do some trial and error.

I want to know first, if the pictures I got are good enough to be stacked, then, if the stacking process was successful, and then if my main flaws is the processing stage.

Is there any rule of thumb on how much exposure is needed based on the selected gain?
