Hi,

While waiting for dark skies, I'm testing my new ZWO camera with Kstars. I am not yet sure if this is bug or a feature ?
I have pointed camera through my telescope, during the day to some architectural structure. Lowered Exposure to accomodate amount of light.
With those settings, camera is displaying very funky colors that even change rapidly.



I have tried to figure out which setting will affect "Live video" to set exposure but I failed. No matter what I change It does not affect exposure there but if I click around the software, from time to time it will "change" to some value. But still, it doesn't look like what I would expect to see

Yeah I'm working on that. RGB is swapped.

On the subject of changing the exposure settings for live video, when you make a setting change, you then have to first do a preview before the live video will pick up the settings. I think I posted about this some time back, but since I found the work around, it wasn't high on the list to look at further.

Is this an Issue with the KStars FITS Viewer? Because I'm having also strange colors with my canon 70d dslr.



Viewing the File with an external Viewer works just fine:

Try to reduce exposure... this is probably saturated.
