ASI2600MM Pro- only getting mono RGB images

umasscrew39

I have been using the ASI2600MM Pro since it first came out with great success for RGB and NB imaging. However, over the past week, all of my RGB images are not coming out in color when I color combine the channels. I get the same mono RGB image whether I use PixInsight or Astro Pixel Processor. The camera is connected to a ZWO filter wheel and the wheel is turning. So, all I can think of is the camera is not working properly or a cable is going bad. Could it be the camera is not functioning properly? I am not sure what to test to confirm this as I only have one mono camera. Any ideas?

Can you disconnect the camera and filter wheel from the telescope and then connect the camera and filter wheel to your imaging software? If you then issue a change filter command, the filter wheel should visibly rotate and select the filter that you instructed it to select.

Thanks for the suggestion, Wouter. I had just placed my filters into my second ZWO filter wheel but tested it like you said- it worked perfectly following my commands to the correct color. I just tried it attached to the scope and looked at the histogram peaks shift as one would expect from very low for Ha to very high for the luminance. So, I will try it out tonight and see what happens. Thx again.
