Live RGB stack using a Color wheel

#1

Post by Ehud »

Hi,

I've got the Meade LPI-G Advanced monochrome camera and I use it in ASCOM mode.
I am trying to use it along with the Manual ZWO filter wheel and see the live stack while created, for example:
1. Start with one minute with the Red filter and see the stack in Red.
2. Pause and start one minute with the Green filter and watch the images continue to stack with the previous red stack (the stacked image will become somewhat Brown).
3. Pause and start the third minute of stacking minute with the Bluen filter and watch the images continue to stack with the previous 'brawn' stack.
After minutes I hoped to have the RGB stack.

However as the Maed LPI-G is a grayscale camera, I only see Grayscale images. Is there a way to see the combined RGB image, live?

Thanks,

Ehud.

Hi,

no, sadly this feature doesn't exist yet (although at some point in the future I would like to add it).

cheers,

Thanks Robin.
I believe in Live results rather than post-processing' and am looking forward to being able to do live stacking using a color wheel!
