Hello and welcome. I'd like to ask everyone who is using Seastar or knows some method if it's possible to do with Seastar? To take any Calibration frames besides lights. Like darks, flats and biases. I'm just curious that is why I'm asking it.
Is It Possible To Take Calibration Frames With Seastar?
I control my Seestar with N.I.N.A rather than using the ZWO app. Using N.I.N.A you can set up the sequencer to take Bias, Darks and Flats. I add my darks into my normal imaging sequence in the middle. Bias frames are easy to take anytime. I don’t bother with flats at the moment. I find N.I.N.A far superior to the ZWO app and it works flawlessly for hour after hour. I usually leave it and go to bed and next morning it is all parked and finished.

[PixInsight] How to prevent Flat overcorrection?
I'm not sure why, but my light frames are getting "overcorrected" by the Flat calibration process of the WeightedBatchPreProcessing script. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can prevent this? Is this maybe due to the large dar...
