I am a beginner and bought an ASI 2400MC to use with a RedCat 51. I took widefield inages of the Horsehead and Orion nebulae but am having trouble processing the images. In Pixinsight, using WBPP, I get an error message when debayering saying that color data is not identified. Looking at the FITS header for one of the subs, am I interpreting this correctly to show that this is a mono image? I'm not sure what I am doing wrong and need advice.

What are you using as your capture software? It will typically write the bayer pattern into the FITS header for use by software such as PI. If there is no bayer pattern info in the FITS header, then you need to change the Mosaic pattern in WBPP CFA Settings from Auto to the actual (usually RGGB for ASI cameras but don't know specifically for 2400MC).

 

PS: you can open the FITS header by opening a raw FITS in PI and using File->FITS header

Thank you Shaun. I am using SkyX. I'll try to make the changes in WBPP as you suggested.

Thank you Shaun. That worked.
