Script produces 3 outputs - this is explained in documentation supplied with program.
1. 16 bit integer CFA monochrome.tiff - these can be used in a variety of software. In particular, StarTools recommends this for loading into DSS.
What does all that mean?
The 12 or 14bit DSLR RAW file is converted to a 16 bit depth file with the bayer or other color filter array intact - the file is monochrome to save memory and speed up calibration.
2. Master bias, dark and flat frames to use in any program or to calibrate the light frames with the script.
3. Calibrated 16bit CFA monochrome.tiff light frames ready for debayer, alignment and stacking.
