How to remove green colour after OSC stacking

Hi, after stacking the frames acquired by my OSC camera, I get a greenish image, which I did expect because of the Bayer battern. But what is actually the most appropriate (the "correct") method to get a neutrally colored picture from this? Thank you very much in advance! Karl

The first quick thing is to select an unlinked STF (Ctrl-

). This will usually generate a reasonably neutral colour-balanced screen image. If you can solve the image (script ImageSolver), you can then call PhotometricColorCalibration (PCC); if this works, it will usually give a good usable color balance to the image. Sadly, in some parts of the sky there are not enough stars in the APASS catalogue for PCC to work, and you will need to use other processes (e.g. BackgroundNeutralization and ColorCalibration).
