Integrating single shot colour frames
« on: 2016 February 01 05:32:01 »
I have some data using a single shot colour camera, and although I process the images in p/i when I register and integrate them in P/i the colour is not as good as when I integrate in deepsky stacker and then process the output from that in p/i.
any feedback on this, maybe I'm not debayering right????
TIA

I run the steps in this Sequence:

Only Calibration either with manual ImageCalibration or  with part of Batchpreprossesing
Debayer with Batch Debayer
Register with StarAlign
Integrate with Image Integration

If you Debayer after Register you get funny coloured Images.

I do that order already....
The colours are much more muted when integrated with p/i than with DSS...

Could be that you saved in DSS the data in stretched Format or only 16-Bit TiF. or ... ?
You should save the data in 32-Bit FITS in DSS so they should look similar to PI
but never the same!

Let us have your 32-bit FITS outcome from DSS and
the 32-Bit outcome from PI.

There are so many possibilities for the real or unreal differences
so with words ist not solvable.
