Gain was at 2 instead of 0 !! Is it worth bringing into WBPP ?

Good Day All;

Quick Question - I was collecting data on the " Ghost" near Navi but the SharpCap gain slider that I always pull down to "0" stopped at "2" and I didn't notice it for a few hours - can I still apply those frames (successfully) against bias and darks taken at "0"  in WBPP? Is that tiny difference detrimental? Will it even be accepted and allowed to run in WBPP?

Thanks for any advice !

Pete

As far as I know, WBPP doesn't check for gain. You should be safe there. Also, if your sensor doesn't have any substantial amp glow, you should be fine. Just test it.

cheers,
