M35 and NGC2158 two brothers in the twins

On Dec 24th I got a special Xmas present, the sky went clear and I was able to try my new Eos77d. The cam has very little noise, bias approximately match the darks (but without hotpixels), and noise generally is low. Banding is much less than even with Eos6d. Canon finally has made a modern APS-C with tiny pixels, hooray!

The flats however were overcorrecting the lights, and I had to add an offset of 0.0234 to the BPP master flat to work normally (PixInsight processing). No idea yet what causes this, but the result... is pleasing.

Eos77d at Iso400, 54x3min subframes, Takahashi Epsilon 130D. AZ-EQ6 guided abd dithered by Lacerta MGEN.

Provided is a crop on the so unequal brothers, but you may like the full field too ;-)

Try the annotated version for object identification.

The little problem with flats is already solved. I am used to make flats at lowest Iso, but the Eos77d adds a different offset at Iso 100 and 200, compared to iso400, 800, 1600.

I took a series of flats at same light flux, 1/160 sec at Iso100, 1/320 at Iso200, 1/640 at Iso400, 1/1250 at Iso800 and 1/2500 at Iso1600. The flats should have approx the same absolute brightness, but they do not. Here the median values measued in PI/Statistics

Iso100 0.05451

Iso200 0.05441

Iso400 0.07817

Iso800 0.07938

Iso1600 0.07973

There are two groups of median brightnesses, Iso100 and 200, and Iso400, 800, 1600. My empirical found difference 0.0234 is pretty close. 8)

So, with Eos77d always make your flats at least in the same offset (Bias) category!

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
