QHY8 in Nebulosity, can only see B&White ??

Tonight is my first light with My QHY8. I have just taken 10 300sec exposures and have got my images. When I open them in FITS Liberator I only see black and white. When I go back into Nebulosity and save them as 16bit Tiff or any other selection I can then open the files in Photoshop but still no colour.. What an I missing and what have I got to do.. Any advice would be a real time save..


Regards
Mardy

You need to debayer in Nebulosity to view the color.

Go to page 8 of this guide it will tell you what to do. It's called demosaic in Nebulosity.

http://qhyccd.com/ccdbbs/index.php?P...2159.0;id=2338

This guide is probably the best one I have seen showing how to use qhy cameras and nebulosity in terms of workflow from dark, to combining to color conversion. Forget that it's for 9c camera. Same principles apply for yours.
