ASI2400MC best GAIN and OFFSET values (Doubt about my masterdark image)

Amenophis

Hello,
I have just purchased this superb camera.
Before being able to use it on the sky (while waiting for a fixing ring for my Wynne corrector) I start to make my library.

I'm a little surprised at the hot pixels shown on the master image (50x300s at -10 ° C Offset = 40 GAIN = 145)
Attached you will find my master image and I would like to know if this is normal.

With simple STF

Do you have a master image to provide for comparaison?

What values do you use for GAIN and OFFSET?!

Thank you very much 😉

We recommend the ASIStudio, you do not need to set the gain and offset manually.
Or you are using the Ascom, we also recommend keep the default gain and offset, especially for the new users.

Thank you very much for your answer.

I just wanted to know if my masterdark was within manufacturer standards.
Indeed, according to the data below, it is obvious to match the parameters in order to optimally use the camera.

other users of this camera could give their opinions? share their masterdark?

Thank you in advance.

All cameras have hot pixel which is normal. You can calibrate it with darks in the post-processing.
Please make sure you are using the new version of ASCOM or SDK.
