Batch Debayering??

[alistairsam]

Hi,

Is there any software out there that can batch debayer OSC images?
I've tried the maxim debayer and it looks very different to the DSS debayer. it actually looks completely off. I've tried playing with the RGB offsets but its still bad.
I've taken a series of FITS images and wanted to debayer them and view them as individual frames in a fits viewer.
The camera is a qhy8 OSC.
Also, any FITS browsers out there that you'll use?
its handy to have one while browsing frames in a folder.

Thanks

Alastair, what did you use to do the capture? Nebulosity will both capture and batch debayer QHY8 images. You can test drive it but until you fork out the bank breaking price (Joke Joyce) it will watermark the images. You might have to fiddle with the debayer matrix parameters to get the colour balance right since the CCD is not evenly sensitive to all wavelengths.

Hi Andrew,

I used QHY's EZCap just because it is really easy to use and you can view the debayered capture straight away.
I'll try maxim's batch settings again.

Thanks

Silkypix, but it outputs a 16bit tif. There is a free version or trial as I recall. Pixinsight does batch debayering - a bit of overkill for a single task.

How do you'll preview and select frames for stacking, manually or does the software handle it
