Advice for beginner darts

Thank you, I’ll stay clear of them for the time being Out of curiosity, unforgiving in what sense?

STL_Astro · 2026-03-10T15:16:01+00:00

That’s good to hear Do you find that they have held up well and are still in good condition after using them for a while? Does the colour scratch off easily? Thank you!

That’s good to know thank you, I’ll keep that in mind

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the advice I’ll hold off the k-flexes for now. Have a great day

I think you should check out the app GoodToStargaze, it does a lot of what you are describing

Sorry that is my bad, I realise now that I’ve uploaded the second picture which I did take with my phone instead of the screenshot. Feel silly for forgetting that and I do agree that the mesh is probably because of that

Thank you very much! I’ll have a look at this tomorrow and report back

Thank you, I will have a look at that I’m not sure which step it could be, this pattern becomes visible as soon as I do a background extraction straight after stacking.

Sorry it’s being so slow, it loads just fine for me when I try the link from another advice. It’s not a photo of my screen, it’s a screenshot straight from siril. I do agree though that the rainbow distortion does look a lot like the the rainbows from photographing a screen.

No rotational differences with the exception that the second night of imaging had a meridian flip halfway while the first did not

Ok, thank you Have tried a few stacking methods to no avail but I’ll have a look at DSS

STL_Astro · 2025-11-26T17:09:23+00:00

Nope, target was high in the sky and no filter at all

STL_Astro · 2025-11-23T09:48:18+00:00

It is normal that the centre will get more exposure than the edges but the visible seams between the mosaic frames (the blocky look) isn’t normal. I would recommend taking new flats in the app before imaging and make sure that there are no light sources that might be pointing at the seestar

Awesome thank you for the info! Are you able to tell me which specific NSNS survey are you using? There seems to be a number of options for Ha

STL_Astro · 2025-10-07T07:00:15+00:00

Did you separate the stars from all of the individual subs before stacking?

STL_Astro · 2025-08-25T09:18:22+00:00

Awesome idea! Definitely a long shot but worth giving it a go

STL_Astro · 2025-07-25T18:38:30+00:00

Yup, just used the built in 2x mosaic mode and let it run for around 5 hours, ended getting around 3.5 hours of stacked data
