Issues Opening ZWO ASI533 MC Pro FITS Files in PixInsight

aristo

I recently received my ZWO ASI533 MC Pro camera and started capturing some test images. Here’s a summary of my setup and parameters:
• Imaging Software: SharpCap 4.1
• Resolution: 3008 x 3008
• Binning: 1
• File Format: FITS
• Debayer Preview: On
• Temperature: -10°C
• Exposure Times: 180 seconds (sometimes 300 seconds)

The imaging process went smoothly, but when I tried opening the FITS files in PixInsight using the Blink module, I encountered an error message, and the files wouldn’t open.
Has anyone else experienced this issue with similar setups? Any advice on troubleshooting or resolving this would be greatly appreciated!
I have never encountered this issue with other 4 ZWO Pro cameras which I own.

FITS File Issue with PixInsight:
I discovered the reason why the FITS files could not be opened in PixInsight. Upon investigation on my Observatory Mini PC (running PixInsight version 1.8.9-3), the software was unable to open the FITS files for some unknown reason. However, when I copied the files to another computer outside the observatory, PixInsight worked perfectly with the 533MC camera FITS files.

While the issue with the Mini PC remains unresolved, I am confident that this is a localized software problem and unrelated to the camera itself. For now, this matter is considered resolved.
