I see options for X and Y Offset. Is that the options for setting the bayer pattern?
The driver identified the camera as a DSI Color II, but that just the name, don't know if any other mechanism is present to communicate color properties to kstars/indi.
Where can I find a list of the available Bayer strings? It seems that the color CCD's in the DSI's use a complementary color mosaic (Cy Ye Mg G) rather than a simple RGB filter.
Hi Daniel,
The official patch is slightly different than yours in that we report the images to be monochrome (instead of attempting to support to CMYG mosaic). This should allow the DSI Colors to be useful for guiding but probably not serious imaging (though the "monochrome" images could be demosaiced externally). Please try it if you get a chance.
Hi Ben.
I built the driver from source, and it worked. I'm only going to use it as a guider, so monochrome image is totally fine by me. Even if I want to debayer that is something that I would do later on in preprocessing.
Hi,
Thank you to add support for the DSI Color!
I take it out of the attic for testing and it look like all work fine.
I agree that file recording must be in raw format, debayer must be done in preprocessing after dark and cosmetic.
Pixinsight as a CMYG debayer script that work for this images.
This is the first generation Deep Sky Imager from 2004 without any number, so I think it is the 1. Meade part number is 04522.
The image quality is quite poor but it can male a decent guider or finder camera.
