Debayer Method.

[Malcolm Dent]

I have a starlight express sxvf m25c one shot colour camera.

I am new to Pixinsight using the trial version , therefore not familiar with all the processes and features. My problem is I am struggling to debayer the RAW images. Using the batch debayer. The script states that it applies the debayer process to each frame with a particular debayer process. My camera specs are Sony ICX413AK SuperHAD progressive scan imager with RGBG
Bayer colour filter matrix. The option does not appear as a choice to use. Selecting a different mode gives a rainbow cast to the image(as expected). But I had to try all for my own sanity.

There are some amazing video tutorials around, all seem to focus on mono cameras and do not mention the one shot colour process.

Any advice is welcome

Hi
RGBG would  mean the chip has a green column!
Correct should be RGGb

Hi Gerald,

The info was copied from the Starlight express manual.
That is the configeration it states.

trial period disappearing before I can process a set of images.. Gutted

Hi Malcolm. I sometimes use my FujiFilm XPro1 for widefield. It has an hybrid color matrix for which PI does not cater. I use SilkyPix to convert RAW/RAF to 16bit Debayered tiff files and go from there.

I have made a request for an additional colour matrix choice in PI.

Hi Malcolm

FWIW, I'm still using Maxim for image calibration, debayering & stacking. Stack output is floating-point and I then import the linear image into Pixinsight for further processing.

Cheers
