ZWO 1780 Manual Settings Suggestions wanted

[Skippyinspace]

Ok,

Probably a silly question and I should just use trial and error.

Does anyone have any manual settings that they use for any of the ZWO cameras in particular 178mm

Im convinced in my previous camera the 120MC I had just used a set value for brightness, exposure and gain.

Thanks in advance

I am using a 178mm on one of my cameras. The settings are going to depend a lot on your local conditions but feel free to have a look at mine https://allsky.alexjg.co.uk/viewSettings.php

The view can be seen here https://allsky.alexjg.co.uk/

I have the gain quite low at the moment as we have a full Moon

Cheers

@Skippyinspace Hi Ian, different camera models need different settings due to light sensitivity, noise, etc. Even though you and Alex have the same model and both are mono you may still need to tweak his settings for your local sky conditions. But they should be a good start.

My 178MC (color) is here. Click on the info icon on the left then "Image Settings" to see my settings.

@Alex-developer Alex, Henry Ott suggests making the "Settings" page look like the WebUI, which I'll do but not until after the next release is out.
