Settings for Imaging Source DBK

[Helo]

I recently purchased an imaging source DBK 21AU618.AS as I had read a number of favourable posts and seen some very nice images taken with it. However I am at a loss as to what settings to use (no manual with them)? I have read several posts which suggest minimal or no gamma (usually I have it higher to find Mars then drop it down once I am ready to record). Gain I set to about 650 but everything else I tried seems to give an image that Registax thinks is black and white and/or a fuzzy white blob. I saw a post on The Imaging Source website about debayering in Registax but Registax 6 does not have the same Other Settings as shown in their Blog. :shrug: Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only manual for these cams is the one you write yourself, Peter:lol:

Or you could follow the one I basically wrote for others...Check the appropriate thread (Mars) :thumbsup:

By the way, things have evolved since I wrote it. The Debayering section is no longer valid. Don't use Registax to debayer - The results are not good. Try Emil's http://www.astrokraai.nl/autostakkert.php

Another vote for Autostakkert, it is a great tool.

Yes indeed. Registax works fine - IF you can overcome the seam lines from Multipoint alignment. Why bother though, AS!2 performs flawlessly in this area.:thumbsup: AS!2 wasn't 'a hit' when I wrote this...Time for some major editing! Wonder what it'll be like in a month..Things are advancing quickly in this field.
