I use Backyard_EOS (Canon DLSR) to capture my RAW (*.cr2) for processing in PixInsight using the preprocessing script.
I get the following Warning when I generate a master dark frame or using a master dark generated from my darks:
[2016-09-11 23:51:51] ** Warning: The file format reports no CFA pattern for the master dark frame, but it is being forced as per process instance parameters.
Does anyone know how to make PixInsight recognize Darks generated from Backyard_EOS or let PixInsight know that these are CFA patterns? Or should I disregard this warning?
Also later on in the preprocessing of FLATS, I see this warning
:

It appears that the master dark is not used due to the earlier issue "not recognizing CFA format in my Backyard_EOS darks.
Thank you for any guidance and help.
