Hi All, before I commit myself into a mental hospital can anyone advise.
I don't have any flats issues now that I sorted some rotation problems with my 8300 in my observatory, but I cannot get around the issue with my other rig with is a Esprit 100, OAG and a Altair Astro 26c Camera (26mp): - https://www.altairastro.com/altair-hypercam-26c-aps-c-colour-camera-16bit-6451-p.asp
The problem is that I take the flats at the end of each session and when I look at them at 30K ADU in SGP they look like this, I took a total of 25 flats at 13.6secs using my flat panel, I have even used two different ones and experienced a similar issue: -
When I stack them using the latest WBPP, with a similar stretch they look like this: -
As you can see there does not appear to be any correctional dust bunnies in the Master Flat, so I presume that if there is none visible then the WBPP doesn't have any artefacts to remove from the Master Light?
I have has some nice images, just ruined because the flats are not correcting in the master light.
I am not sure if the issue is because I am using a OSC camera and I am expecting too much from it or if I need to change a parameter, I kept a process icon for it and this is the script details: -
