Ok, after many trail, I found my mistake, we need to set the "Image Control" to "Automatic" otherwise it take the previous settings and this is not good for all camera ! :mrgreen:

Hello

Good to see you solved it.
There is no "Solved" option in this forum.
You can delete it yourself if you want (or I can do it) or you can leave it as it might be something for someone else with similar thing in the future to find a solution in.

Hi,

just to explain, a lot of cameras are most sensitive to green light, so they tend to produce green images unless you adjust the colour balance. In a consumer digital camera or a smart phone camera, this is all set up automatically for you, but with astronomy cameras it's up to you to make the adjustments (because sometimes you might not want any adjustments for certain types of imaging).

cheers,

Robin
