Green growing line with live stacking.

DavidTheStarGazer

Hello Folks. Was trying the new 1.5 upadate last night with my 2600 MC pro and AP 1100 mount. Scope is a 14 LX850 Meade SCT. While live stacking a potentially bad pixel in bright green would show up in the lower portion of the frame. As the stack progresses, the green line started growing longer and longer in a sort of zig zag pattern. This did not happen in the past on the old 1.4 software.. Anyone seen this before? Could be a fluke, and will try again tonight, but it was strange.. Thank you! David

I think you are seeing a hot pixel. The pixel stays in the same place on the sensor but the image will move around your sensor due to the seeing and tracking errors. The movement creates the line. I have several green and blue hot pixels but I got Firecapture to map them and then ignore them.

Ok, I think that makes sense, tried again, and saw the same green, then a red line in another area.. Does not show in Astro Pixel Processor when I stack the individual images, so seems to be only a hot pixel issue in the live stack from the Air Pro.. Thanks!
