Good afternoon everyone and a happy new year to you!
I am using a Canon 1100D as my imaging camera and an Altair Astro GP130 as my Guide camera. When I take images with my Canon in the CCD module the image is displayed and I can make out my target. However when I try to use the Focuser module or the Plate solving module the images are taken as FITS and I can't see any stars in the images, so plate-solving fails also I struggle to find any stars to focus on.
I have attached 2 images taken with the CCD module one saved as native

and one saved as FITS. You can clearly see the difference.

Is there some setting I can change to have the focus/Plate solve module take native images? or is there a setting I need to enable to have the FITS displayed correctly?

Many thanks,
Lenny.
