Software for QHY9 Colour Camera

[pjphilli (Peter)]

I have used Nebulosity 2.5 for my old QHY8 camera which displayed each captured image directly in colour. I am now using a QHY9 colour camera which I understand directly provides RAW images which must be converted to show colour. Does anyone know which setting in Nebulosity 2.5 can achieve this automatic conversion?

Otherwise could capture software be recommended that can achieve this automatic conversion? If so the appropriate settings for the QHY9 colour camera would also be appreciated.

I haven't used Nebulosity but if it displayed colour on your QHY8 then it should with your QHY9. Perhaps the Bayer Matrix is different?
Otherwise I used to use Astro Photography Tool when I used a OSC camera and it worked really well.

Thanks Jeremy - I gather from other information that because the QHY9 (so called colour!) can only output in the RAW format the Nebulosity capture/display software cannot directly display an image in colour but an external program such as Images Plus must be used to convert the image. I will have a look at the Astro Photography Tool to see whether it can handle RAW images.
