I’ve Never LOVED NINA More: Using the Flat Wizard to Train for Flats!

[@RawNoise]

Dave, want to say thank you for highlighting the DeepSkyDad motorized flat panel!! I have picked one up for my Esprit 120ED, and this is a godsend!!!! I've implemented this excellent panel and love the added end-of-night convenience it has brought me with maintaining a consistent workflow. I followed your videos, and you saved me all the time it would have taken to set it up. Thanks again, and clear skies, brother!!!

@@DavidCotePhotography nah I got a great spot ne of payson 80s during the day 60s at night

[@DaveUrbanAstro]

Yea, I am going to give it a try this summer! CS!

[@DavidCotePhotography]

@@azastro919 I would be interested in checking it out sometime. Is it on public lands, or private? To be honest, I haven't traveled much in that part of AZ, mostly up north like Sedona, Flagstaff and of course the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, but the Payson area is not one that I am familiar with.

[@azastro919]

@@DavidCotePhotography ya payson and Prescott are both really nice areas. My favorite area is the white mountains though.

Nice Deep Sky Dad Motorized flat panel. Just for a matter of interest I have a 2600 camera and found the ADU setting for this camera would be around 19000 to 21000, and this would apply to a verity of CMOS camera's. The ideal ADU would be 20000 to get that perfect flat. -----------

Just an observation, the Nightly version of build 3 is for developing purposes and is not stable. "Main target audience for these builds are code contributors, plugin developers and volunteer testers!" NINA devs recommend using the release version .

[@DaveUrbanAstro]

True. But I personally live on the bleeding edge, and consider myself a "volunteer tester." But I think for this demo, the wizard works as it does in the release version. The functionality is no different. But as you say, folks should use the release versions so that they get the best results. CS!

[@LogansAstro]

Excellent. Makes we want to get one of those flat panels now. CS
