Update May 21!

I am slowly in the process of demonetizing all my videos, I was never in it for the money or the glory. I just like to help people. This way you can rest assured i'm not making a video only to trigger an algorithm or as click bait. I have been a bit disillusioned with it all lately, and hopefully this will help.
Instead if you wish to support me you can buy me a coffee or beer instead :) entirely your choice though!

In this video i discuss the different types of calibration frames:

Darks
Flats
Flat Darks
Bias

and what they correct for and how to take them.

A note with regards to target ADU for the flats, this depends on the Astro camera you use. The camera in the video is a 12bit camera, thus the true adu I’m aiming for is 2000. Other cameras with higher bit depths will be different. Please watch the flats and maths video on how to work it out :)

Also the examples in the video use sharpcap, however...if you use other software the same principles are easy to apply. One important note though, don't mix calibration files from different software etc.

I also suggest watching the following videos for extra information, the flats video is particularly important :)
