A common problem I have when imaging the Moon (or Jupiter, for that matter) with my ASI cameras is that the image cannot be white balanced on the way in. I am not the only one. Although the exact details depend on the camera and the UV/IR cut filter being used, the effect is that not enough blue makes it through to balance the green, even with wblue maxed out, and there is no wgreen control for ASI cameras.

I would like to have an additional "blue boost" software gain, or alternately a "green cut", such that the blue and green channels can be white balanced (there never seems to be a problem with red). A blue boost could be an additional slider below wblue, while a green cut might be a slider between wred and wblue. For what it's worth, FireCapture implements an additional "wgreen" control that varies from -10 to +10 if I recall correctly, specifically for this problem.

Thanks for your consideration.

Dr. Glover,

Any comment on this?

Thanks for your consideration.

Hi,

it's made it to my 'post-it note board of things to be done', which is a good thing. On the other hand, there are lots of other postit notes on the board

cheers,

Haha. Understood. Thanks for the update.
