Most people find color noise more objectionable than luminance noise. Using a OSC for live stacking can take a very long time for the color noise to get down to an acceptable level, if it ever does.
Here's a recent thread on CN where a SharpCap EAA user does not like his results because of color noise and is trying to figure out how to get rid of it:

Color noise was always the worst thing about DSO EAA for me as well. It's partially what drove me all the way to straight up AP instead of EAA.
I would liketo suggest a feature that color denoises the displayed live stack (not the stacked data itself). The display image can be transformed to a color space like YCrCb (I think that it your preference for color denoising if I recall, Robin) and a simple Gaussian blur applied to the Cr & Cb channels with a user controlled slider for the radius, before the image is recomposed to RGB for display. Or whatever your preferred method of color denoising is. :O)
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Mike

Hi Mike,
this already exists in SharpCap 4.1 on the enhancement tab - see https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/#Enhancement%20Tab - it works pretty much exactly as you have suggested
cheers,
Robin

Robin,
You work so fast you build features before I can even get around to asking for them! ;O)
Thanks!
