Settings for Imaging Source DBK

I recently purchased an imaging source DBK 21AU618.AS as I had read a number of favourable posts and seen some very nice images taken with it. However I am at a loss as to what settings to use (no manual with them)? I have read several posts which suggest minimal or no gamma (usually I have it higher to find Mars then drop it down once I am ready to record). Gain I set to about 650 but everything else I tried seems to give an image that Registax thinks is black and white and/or a fuzzy white blob. I saw a post on The Imaging Source website about debayering in Registax but Registax 6 does not have the same Other Settings as shown in their Blog. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only manual for these cams is the one you write yourself, Peter

Or you could follow the one I basically wrote for others...Check the appropriate thread (Mars)

By the way, things have evolved since I wrote it. The Debayering section is no longer valid. Don't use Registax to debayer - The results are not good. Try Emil's http://www.astrokraai.nl/autostakkert.php

Yes indeed. Registax works fine - IF you can overcome the seam lines from Multipoint alignment. Why bother though, AS!2 performs flawlessly in this area. AS!2 wasn't 'a hit' when I wrote this...Time for some major editing! Wonder what it'll be like in a month..Things are advancing quickly in this field.
