Black/white final stack instead of color? Why?

KatNRick

DSS converted final image to black & white when stacked color image fits were stacked?

I don't remember it doing that in the past. How do I keep the color?

Support@Seestar

It shouldn't turn into black and white; it should normally output a color image. What problem are you encountering?

Just like I said, if I use the APP DSS to stack any combination of the FITS of the JPG images below, the result is Black and White. FITS are too large to attach. Any 2 of the 3 files or all 3 of the files. OOPS, I thought I was just attaching files, not expecting the image instead of just a filename.

I don't remember this happening in a test prior to the firmware update last week.

Thank you for looking and assistance

This seems a bit unusual. Could you please send us the original FITS files via email? https://support.zwoastro.com/
Or could you reproduce the problem and submit an issue log?
I think we need to analyze them before we can provide an accurate answer.
