1600MC-Cool and DSS

junji

Hi all

Please advise me how to use FITS file captured from 1600MC-cool in Deep sky stacker.

I know, in FITS files settings menu, bayer pattern should set to GRBG.

But I do not know 'Colors adjastment'.

Default values are,

Brightness : 1.00

Blue Scale : 1.00

Red Scale : 1.00

Is it OK to use default value? or should I change?

I've never bothered setting these with colour cameras as you can adjust balance later with Photoshop or what have you (or even DSS have some colour balancing settings which you can do after stacking).

Mind you DSS usually have done colour balance pretty good with default settings.

Thank you einari,

I think I should try out on default settings.

But I do not understand, there is no 'Green scale' setting field... why?

einari

I think Green scale is not needed because you adjust other channels relative to green.

So you can get your colour balance right by just adjusting the other two.

Very clear!

Thanks so much.
