ASI1600MC-cool Debayer.

tysona23

I am currently using the asi1600mc and I can't seem to debayer any images it produces. I have been using the GRBG algorithm and it still looks mono when I am done with the stack. I am currently using PIPP as the debayer program before the stack. I also noticed Deep Sky Stacker has a debayer option, but was told not to count on that program. I have sent a few images to a few people and they seem to be as stumped as me. I have tried using both Raw 8 and Raw 16 with debayer preview on. I also was wondering when you add the darks in sharpcap should you still use a dark frames when stacking or has the dark already been subtracted from the image through sharpcap?

Thanks, Tyson

you'd better don't use the dark subtract function of sharpcap if you will process it after capturing

otherwise the data cannot match

So in order to properly debayer the image do not use the dark subtraction in sharp cap? That's some good information! I didn't know that and have completed all my captures with the dark subtract feature. I will give it a test run tonight.

What exactly is the dark subtract feature used for? Is that just for all sky cam on the noisier cameras?
