No support in dcraw for the MkII yet so the colors are really off. Hard to get them anywhere near what they should be. Tried it with converting them to tiff files first but then Pi complains about the geometry not being correct between the lights and calibration frames despite having processed them all the same way. Now the holidays are over I suspect it won't be long before this is corrected. But even with all that I'm loving the images from the MkII. Been following along with Harry's Pi tutorials to process these. Still floundering along but I do see the light at the end of the tunnel now.

Look forward to what you can do when the camera is fully supported, Dan!

I've been using a work around converting the subs to tif then using Pi to process them. Only problem is Pi complains the calibration files aren't the same geometry and shuts down so I haven't been able to use any calibration files. I've only been at this since Oct just barely off the ground so I'm thinking the camera is going to be awesome once the operator is up to speed. I'm putting together an autoguider for my setup now so I can do some narrow band. Maybe by this time next year the operator will be as good as the camera :)

Its all good though I am way ahead of where I thought I'd be at this stage. My mount is working great no a whimper out of it so far. Haven't gotten to use my Argo yet. Only two nights of clear skies since it arrived and I used those to test out the MkII. I'm aiming on having everything put together and working for the spring. By then I should be up to speed on the processing side.
