Does STELLINA integrate dark, flat and offset files?

Does STELLINA integrate dark, flat and offset files?

  1. Flat would be complicated to manage because of the field derotator
  2. The bias (offset) is not necessarily necessary on recent sensors (more so than on our cameras, we found that it was impossible to control the behavior of the sensor below 0.5s)
  3. The dark is managed by our algorithms which carry out the removal of hot pixels as well as the removal of glow. However, with the release of Singularity, you can now access the Expert Mode and create your Darks. Please refer to How to take and use a dark? for further help.
