Sorry to break in. I have the same issue with a avi, recorded recently with a ZWO ASI 1600 MM Pro. This is what the avi looks like in a avi player: M13-avi.jpg This is how the stack looks like in AA7, it has been shifted to the left: M13-avi-AA7-stack.JPG The avi is recorded with SharpCap, it can be...

Thanks Fabio. It’s still not in stock, so I haven’t gotten it yet, I’ll try asking ZWO.

If the ZWO EAF sends temperature over ASCOM, I suppose it will be AOCAMBT: See https://diffractionlimited.com/help/max ... itions.htm

I see that the sensor temperature from my ZWO ASI 1600 MM Pro is stored along in the fits header. If I have an ambient temperature sonsor, will it be possible to store this value in fits header as well? I have ordered a ZWO EAF ( https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/product/zwo-eaf ) with a temperat...

Thanks.

How does AA do the autofocusing? Does it take a picture and look at some stars FWHM, and then try to minimize them taking more pictures (V-curve)?

Thanks Fabio. I missed that.
So setting focuser position to 99999 in AA7 SP1 means autofocus?

Can’t wait to get a ZWO EAF and try it out!

ZWO is about to release their auto focuser, ZWO EAF, very soon (I think you can already buy it directly from ZWO). https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/product/zwo-eaf ZWO-EAF.JPG So I was wondering, is it possible to include auto focusing in the sequencer, for example between each filter shift? As ...

Ok Fabio. I will use dark flats next time.
I was also recommended doing that for my new camera on a danish Astro site.

Hi Fabio, I tried using stacking method "Average", but still, the result file is 64 MB and it has BITPIX = 32 !!! If I follow the steps below, the change seems to happen when the picture is saved. Preprocessing 16 bit fit files using "Average" method http://b-rasmussen.dk/astro/astroart/aa7/20190517...

Thanks for the answer Fabio.
What stacking method would You recommend for a ZWO ASI 1600MM Pro at unity gain or below?
It’s a 12 bit camera.

Hi Dunmunro,

I am using "Sigma+Sum".
