Are you having some flat field correction problems?

Another great video Tony! Quick question. How do I get to show the numbers near the cursor when I'm click dragging on the image.? They show up on the bottom of the interface, but not near the cursor like yours does. I did a check of a Dark at 300sec and a 3 sec Dark Flat and both showed a matching 0.042.

In PI is a button on the bottom menu (bottom line of application) which is just left to the coordinate numbers - more or less to the middle-right of that bottom line…if you click there you can change what is displayed under your cursor hope that helps @yervantparnaign5999

Thank you! Great question! Mine was like this default, but at the bottom of the PixInsight window where it shows the coordinates and pixel values, to the right of that, you’ll see an icon that looks like crosshairs with a square in the middle. Click on that, go to readout data and check “show readout preview”
