Thanks Mark
I bench test all my gear before using it at night
Here’s my written procedures below ……

APT Camera Selection
Every time you change from ZWO2600MC to ZWO2600MM you have to change the following settings in APT obviously once camera is connected !!

Connect Camera ( Shift / Connect )
CCD: Ascom Camera
2600MC , check Color FITS preview ( De Bayer ) box
2600MM , uncheck Color FITS preview ( De Bayer ) box
Then OK.

Ascom Camera Chooser
As per normal ASI Camera (1)
Properties
Correct ZWO camera should appear
Then set Gain etc… OK.

Tools Tab ( top right )
APT Settings Tab
CCD Tab
Change Camera name as required
Then press Reset image ID button
OK

Important !!!
After each camera change , you must shut down APT and restart APT to enable camera change to be locked into program

The subs were definitely mono ( not Colour ) during capture as I’ve been using my 2600MC for 3 years and could tell straight off the bat they wee mono

But then again I could be missing something, you never know


I’m leading towards an alignment stacking issue in DSS

Cloudy nights have a few leads on this issue but like everything, it’s trial and error

Paul has offered to review my subs which is a priority at the moment

Thanks

Cheers
