I have a QHY8L which im planning on using with my newly acquired SG Pro
I’ve been doing some tests in daylight to get my head around the software so I
have my cam in an Orion ST80 pointed at the roof of the houses opposite. I’ve took
a rather nice pic of the roofs but in SG Pro’s view it is black & white (the QHY8L takes
in colour in 1x1 binning but B & W in the other binning modes). I used 1x1 binning so
it should be in colour. How do I get S G’s viewer to debayer the image to colour, also
I tried saving the image so I could debayer in Pixinsight but right clicking the image only
gives me the option to save as a Mono fits ???
Hi Paul,
SGP only displays black and white images. SGP is a capture program only
and not an image processing program. If you take an actual image as
part of a sequence (not just a frame and focus image), it will save the
image correctly, then you should be able to open in PI and debayer.
Although, I’d hardly call an ‘option’ to display a debayered version of your capture on screen ‘image processing’, more a visualisation tool/option for OSC users to fully evaluate what they have just captured, obviously an option like this has no relevance to mono users.
Two capture programs I used previously also offered no image processing capabilities but both gave a debayered view of your captures as they came in if an OSC was used. Would the developers not consider this a worthy option for SGP in future releases ??
Please don’t think im trying to rattling the cage here as im not, just voicing an observation is all.
