Please help: I can't see color in PixInsight with OSC images

[DavidNg (David)]

Dear members,

I got myself an AS 1600 color version, managed to get it running and took some images through MaxIm saved in FIT files.

Opened the these files in PixInsight; however I could only see black & white after applying AutoStretch. I saw and tried in the top tab Image --> Color Spaces --> Convert to RGB color, but the images remained monochrome.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards
David

No Pete, definitely 1x1 binning. I could see and record color with live view and video, however strangely the FIT files always appeared monochrome. I think there is a function somewhere within PixInsight would allow to convert to color.

Did you debayer the FITS?

No, Atmos. How do you do that?

One of the Processes is called Debayer. According to the following CN thread the debayer pattern is GRBG which is the last one in the dropdown list.
