RAW (Again) new
      #3329262 - 09/12/09 06:23 AM

Just checking in...

Has anyone made any progress in getting RAW mode working with a SPC 900NC?

I tried it out a while ago but could not get it working correctly. I got images but they ended up pixellated...

Anyone....?

By golly I think I've got it working...

My webcam was in the workshop for a clean etc so I thought I'd give it one more try at lunchtime...

I set it to RAW via wcRmac, fired up Qfocus, restored factory settings, set to 5fps and shot a test AVI.

I then loaded it into Registax V5 and selected debayer from the options menu and it worked.

No pixellation, just a smooth image

Seems to be two things that I have done differently from the last attempt - Registax V5 has been released (I was using V4 before)and I skipped the file conversion via AviRaw.

If it's clear this weekend I'll grab some Jupiter stuff and report back...

An image from my bench test.

It's converted to jpg so it's nowhere near as crisp as the original but shows a nice sharp clean image.
