This is a request for help and understanding. I'm new to the Dwarf 3. I am wondering why the Dwarf stacked image directly out of the Dwarf_3 is a colored image but when I stack the individual frames in Sequator or Deep Sky Stacking, the result is black-white. [One night the images were captured as fits. I transformed them to tif and jpg using IrfanView, and the jpg were stacked in Sequator.  Tif's and jpg's viewed individually in Photoshop were also B/W.]  Also, captured the same object the next night as tifs and the Dwarf stack was in color while the individual tifs as seen in Photoshop or IrfanView were black and white. (The object was the Flame Nebula, Alnitak and the Horsehead Nebula together.)

     Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you saved the RAW images (FITS files) they need to be  debayered to see the color.
