Hello APP, I got my trial started last night and have started processing some data! I am relatively new to Astrophotography (3 months in) and am hooked for life!
My setup is as follows:
- ZWO ASI294MC Pro cooled camera
- Explore scientific 127mm APO refractor with Moonlite motorized focuser
- Skywatcher EQ6R Pro mount
- Guidescope and Orion Starshoot Autoguide camera
When I load all my data (lights, flats and darks) and check all my options the image comes out monochrome now matter what I try. When I try to use the color correction options on tab 9 I get an error that I must load RGB data to continue. I have tried with and without the force CFA option to no avail. Any tips would be appreciated. When I stack this data in DSS or PI they come out with color as expected. I can try to provide anything you need to look at just let me know.
Thanks,
Charles
Hi Charles,
i have the same camera and was able to process it successfully. Besides force CFA you might try putting RGGB in the debayer pattern, although I don’t think I needed to do that. Which color tool gave you the problem?

Sure you put on the force CFA flag in step 0 before proceeding to the rest? It works for my ASI183MC.
I tried two more stacks with mostly the same data last night and made sure that force was checked. These stacks came out with color no problem! I thought I had it checked in the first two but must not have. Thanks for the quick reply!
