BasicCCDParamaters Script

#1

Post by Baskevo »


Hi guys,

So I'm trying to figure out the correct gain e/ADU value for the Subframe Selector process in PixInsight. I am running 2 flats, 2 darks, and 2 bias frames through the BasicCCDParamaters script.

I took 2 darks, 60 sec and 600 sec
2 bias, at 1/4000 sec
2 flats, with my luminance filter

Here is my question... For the ZWO ASI1600mm Pro, I have read that the readout depth and A/D Bits should be 16/12, respectively. I have also read that it should be 12/12. Does anyone know which one? I get two completely different results depending on those.

Thanks in advance for the help!
-James W.

Hi James - The info below is from the Highpoint Scientific website for the ASI1600MM Pro. Most of the camera parameters are already calculated for you.

Hope this helps.
