No colour and checkerboard pattern

Hi Robin:

I am not getting colour and I get a checkerboard pattern after Autodev in Star Tools which disappears at 70% binning. I had the same problem with APT and the Mallincamsky DS10c camera.

I don't have this problem when I acquire my images in CCD Ciel.

Hi Dan,

RAW images saved from any colour camera will look like this if your processing does not include a step to debayer the images to extract the colour information. The steps needed to enable debayering during processing will vary depending on your processing application, but there is a guide to what is going on (and some ways to proceed) here : viewtopic.php?t=254

cheers,

Robin

Hi Robin:

Thanks for the link. It is encouraging that there is a solution to the problem. PIPP I thought was for video frames however my sequence of subs could be regarded as extremely slow video frames.

I will have to read up on the link you kindly provided as well as thank Turfpit for originally posting it.

Thank Robin,

Dan Kahraman
