1600MC-Cool Mac Nebulosity Demosaic

When demosaicing in Neb 4.1.5 it wants to know some info about the bayer matrix. I've searched around and this is the best info I can find. I'm just looking for confirmation I have this correct. Please see attached image. I processed a short run and the colors do not seem to be coming out correct. Even after the auto color balance and background offset.

Thanks!

I'm still working out the color issue. Not sure yet if I have it yet. It doesn't look right to me. Thinking of running without my CLS to see if I can get a better white balance easier. Any suggestions?

First light details.

8" Orion Astrograph - ZWO ASI1600MC-Cool @ -20c, 0 Gain/Offset 10. Recommended High DNR setting. 75x300sec lights, then darks and flats. w/BaaderMPCC & Astronimik CLS. Mac Neb4.1.5 capture and process. Final touches in PS then 50% reduction on jpg export.

Well, It's a not a camera problem. Nebulosity 4.1.5, when the camera is connected and selected in Neb will Demosaic correctly. This is with the standard drivers from ZWO. Mac and Windows. Not the ASCOM one. When connected to the camera via ASCOM the post process de-Bayer did not return the correct color.

I still have not discovered the manual de-Bayer settings. So I will process with the camera connected until I switch software or Neb recognizes the file and gets the correct color. Attached are much-improved results and I can say I am super happy.

I found the answer. Now that I knew what to look for. I found the settings to manual de-Bayer the ASI1600MC-cool files in Nebulosity 4.1.5.

Image 1

Array type: RGB

Pixel Size: 3.8 x 3.8 This did not matter if set. I left it at 1 and got the same results.

Matrix Offset: X=0 Y=1

Nothing else was changed.

Image 2 are the results.

Then I did an Auto Color Balance and Adjust Color Background Offset.

Image 3 is the result of that. Color I recognize. :)
