Thanks for the links. I'll take a look at them.

Here are a couple of links. One is for NebScript2, the other for Sequence Generator Pro. I haven't tried SGP yet. It looks like it can do a lot, including integrating plate solving software, but my head's still swimming just trying to stick to the basics.

I'll take whatever links you may have. All I have played with so far is the script to run the FW. I look forward to more of your images.

Thanks, Steve. Congrats on the new cam! You are correct about the gain settings for binning. Funny you should mention that. I took this RGB set with the gain set to 1! I noticed it after I captured the red data. It looked OK so I took the rest on hi gain as well. All I had to do was take a set of matching darks for it. Also, I have a link for a good script generator if you want to use one.

Nice work Steve! I just got a QSI 683ws and will be using Nebulosity to capture with. I'm new to CCD imaging and am wondering if I am correct in this: If imaging 1x1 do I set the Gain to 1 and if imaging 2x2/3x3/4x4 do I set the Gain to 0?
