Hi,

Working my way up the learning curve…

When assigning darks, flats, biases in live stacking mode, do I need to load in master files off my computer? I took all sets on the asiair pro but it only lets me pick one file.

As for guiding, only about half my shots are stacking and the live view is streaky. Any general advice on settings?

Also… when doing live mode… where can I control intervals between shots to let the sensor cool down and accommodate for dithering?

Okay… I think I solved the guiding issue but am still very curious about intervals during live mode as well as calibration files and if I need to load in masters.

Thanks!

I am going to try creating master calibration frames on my computer then loading them into the ASIAIR for use…

My final missing link at the moment is: how can I set an interval between shots in live stacking mode to accommodate for dithering / give the sensor a moment to rest?

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Currently dithering isn't available in Live stack.
