15th Feb 2024: Astro Pixel Processor 2.0.0-beta29 released - macOS native File Chooser, macOS CMD-Q fixed, read-only Fits on network fixed and other bug fixes
7th December 2023: added payment option Alipay to purchase Astro Pixel Processor from China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Korea, Japan and other countries where Alipay is used.
The ASI183MC (like many) has a fair amount of amp glow that shows in the darks. I tried making a Bad Pixel Map using 30 Darks and 30 Flats, and the BPM clearly had most of that amp glow marked as hot pixels. I used the default value of 3% hot pixels, and 10% of median for cold.
That doesn't seem right... Any ideas how to do that correctly?
Hi David
Same camera here. I leave BPM setting on automatic and have no problem with getting a clean pixel image.
You should not get any amp glow showing in your BPM - IMO
Did you use only darks and flats, not darkflats? I would try to incorporate darkflats and see what result you get.
Cheers

Even though that does show up in the BPM, I don't think it's an issue (as far as I know..), a BPM never degrades your data, so it won't correct pixels that are not showing up in your lights basically.
