What is Bayer pattern for ZWO ASI 071?

According to the specs on the web site it's: RGGB

My confusion is that FITS header says it is GRGB.

Not an expert by any means but would think that's a function of the software writing the file. What are you using for capture software? Maybe look at the default settings in it.

Thanks. I'll check. I used Sharpcap

I just got through looking at my SharpCap, and you're right! The program's FITS header says it is GBRG and I don't see a way to change the default save. If it's getting it info from the camera, then either the specs are wrong or the program is reading it incorrectly.

Just ran out of ideas :?

I just took some terrestial images, and the matrix on the sensor is definitely RGGB. I can work with that knowledge. Thanks for the help!

It kind'a begs the question though, why is SharpCap putting a different Bayer configuration in the FITS header?
