Weird network in my pics

ursamajor

Hi! I stacked some videos of the Moon in AS!3, but I noticed a weird network (like a Bayer matrix?) on my pics. Is this normal?
I attached some image crops and resized them to 200% to see what I mean.
I own a ASI462MC camera.

And, please, add SER format for 8 bits!!! Not only AVI.

Bad support... are you here ZWO?

ursamajor Bad support... are you here ZWO?

Support from ZWO has always been spotty. Unless you praise them, you are not likely to get a response.

Since they refuse to answer you, your problem is that your display program is treating the image as a monochrome image, while your camera is a color camera. The 2x2 pattern comes from the Bayer filter. You need to "deBayer" or "demosaic" the image.

If you need better support, buy from a different manufacturer in the future.

w7ay Dude, Autostakkert detected and debayered my videos corectly. Stay calm, I know what I'm doing.
The problem is in the (debayered) videos, I saw that net even when capturing and zooming. Probably, it's because I used IR pass filter. But I don't think it's normal.
If you were smart you would have seen the colossal difference between the photo of the guy on cloudy and mine...
You have no idea what I'm talking about. Just download the image with the Moon and zoom into it and see what I mean. It's like a remnant/a memory of Bayer network, not undebayered pic

Case closed: in near IR (680nm) the grid IS visible. Not normal, in my opinion, but maybe this is the price to pay for that incredible sensitivity in IR. Over 700 nm the grid disappers.
