Nice one Poita, I hope (one-day) to obtain something as nice as your image. I was wondering how large the file was for Autostakkert? I have used colour files (scared of debayering) from my DBK and they seem too large to be accepted - any tips?
Are you sure they are too large and not just the wrong codec?
I loaded a 4GB colour .avi into autostakkert last night, I haven't finished processing it yet, but this was the raw stack from the DBK21.
I just use the 'unspecified' or whatever it is called as the avi option (the last button).
Now I just have to make it not orange....
EDIT: I've added a raw frame so you can see what the capture looked like before stacking, and one with a (very bad) colour adjustment of the stacked image)
I hadn't tried planetary with the refractor before, I usually use the big SCT, but it did a fairly reasonable job.
BTW, no matter what I do with the DBK21 Saturn always seems to be the reddy-orange like in the raw frame I posted.
Am I missing a setting somewhere? My other targets come out at roughly the colours I would expect.
Hi Peter. Yeah, Saturn shouldn't be that colour at capture time..Just so I get the picture of what you are doing, some Q's - What codec are you using? If a colour codec, are you then opening up the histogram window & adjusting the R & B sliders to exactly match the G (hue) before capture? 'Auto' needs to be unticked of course..

Thanks. I've been using firecapture, I'll give ICCapture a go, the sliders don't seem to do anything in firecapture since the last update.
Yeah, I can't use firecapture with my little capture laptop so can't help you there. Good luck with IC capture - it'll give you fits on a few occasions with sudden crashes etc. but generally speaking, works ok most of the time..
Great image, Peter... just make my craving to go out even that bit more painful... if it's not rain, its cloud out my way... damn this weather.
Try capturing through R-G-B filters on the DMK21 and see what colours you get then.... Last one I imaged on the 24th turned out yellow and the one on 21st was violet/blue with a hint of green... I think I'm doing something wrong in capturing the color data on the night and so I'm losing a lot of colour information. I user a Infra-Red cut filter for the luminance.
