Storing rawframes as FITS?
It is possible to store raw frames as FITS when doing live stacking? Under Capture Format I have chosen RAW16 and Output Format as FITS. At the end of a Live Stack I choose SAVE ALL. I get both processed and rawframes folders. But the rawframes are PNG, not FITS. Is there something else I need to select, or will the rawframes always be png at the end of Live Stacking? Thanks.

Hi,
you may need to change the 'Preferred Still Format' in the Saving tab of the settings (older versions of SharpCap had it on the General tab). If that is set to FITS then you ought to get FITS.
cheers,
Robin
