as per title really, i`m not sure if i need to add darks frames to a luminance channel, if i do i take it i should process it the same as a rgb channel with flats and bias as well ?


thanks for the help

i suppose it depends on your camera... i dont know.  I dont do darks at all as chip really does not require them, but the kodak chips do.


if you normally do them for RGB then i would say yes.  but i am sure a grown up will be along to advise soon :)

I've not used the Titan enough to know if it's as good for dark signal as the 314 - However if you do choose to use them, yes, just the same as RGB :)
