oaCapture Camera settings for "Force Input Frame Format"

fivel

Hello again.

I use oaCapture (now that it's issues are fixed) but need advice on these settings.

My main imager is the ZWOasi1600mc-c.

In the oaCapture Camera screen there is the option as stated in the subject line.

That option has over a dozen capture modes. Do I need this option checked?

I am imaging DSOs in 16 bit RAW color (no filters), and saving in either tiff or fits. I need to be able to post process the images in color.

Here are a few to set RAW16 bit mode (I hope).

Which ones of the following do you recommend I use (if at all)?

GRBG 12/16 LE (or BE)

GRBG 14/16 LE or BE

I do set the Demosaic to GRBG and either Bilinear or VNG for the algorithm.

Please advise.

I think you can choose GRBG 12/16 LE (or BE).

Thank you Katherine.

I also found out that the "Force Input Frame Format, IAW the user manual, is not needed unless to override what the fits info has (if say it is incorrect).

I think you can try this two option and compare their difference.
