ASI290MM - Strange "vertical pixel lines"

thecounter

Hello from germany :)

I've got a brand new ZWO ASI290MM and made my first pictures of the sun and the moon with a Skywatcher StarTravel 102 and Skywatcher Explorer 150PDS.

After stacking the recordings with Autostakkert!3 or Registax and sharpening in Registax, there are strange "vertical pixel lines" in most (not all) of the images. I then took a recording of one of my walls indoor and stacked/sharpend it, but then again, same strange pixel lines.

I had a ASI224MC before and never had such pixel lines.

Here are some images of it. First the sun, those images are from 2 recordings taken within a few minutes without touching settings or equipment:

The moon:

The wall:

Here are 2 recordings sorted with PIPP (500 frames), so anyone can try it themselves:

I tried different methods stacking and sorting the recordings, but the end result was always the same. I even tried different recording methods.

Hope anyone can help me.

Thanks and clear skies.

Hi Kevin

290 has such pattern noise compare with 224

so a good way to solve it is don't keep your tracking so accurate and avoid stacking on these "detail"

I think you can try to enable "vertical blur" under AS!2

Hi Sam,

thanks for your reply.

I tried vertical blur, but that doesnt help.

When taking mosaics from the moon i need accurate tracking, so i maybe need to get another camera for moon/sun imaging and this one only for planets.

Thanks anyway :)

Greetings
