Any tips to process OSC images?

This may have been asked before, but how does one process OSC camera (SXVR M25C)  images into 'glorious' colour!

I have CS5,  AstroArt 5 and Neb. 3 software.

Thanks,

did you shoot in Colour and did you use software to capture the images if so what package

Yes, I shot in colour and used Nebulosity 3. Other times I use AstroArt5. I always save in FITS.

I use DSS to stack then mess about in PS to sort the colour .

OSC images captured in Nebulosity need to be debayered as the raw image shows each separate filter as grey scale. You need to pre-process each image under the batch menu it is demosaic and square raw images this combines the separate RGGB pixels into one colour pixel this needs to be done for your images prior to stacking.

The "secret" is to start with a lot of good, well-focused, perfectly guided, long exposure subframes.

If you have good starting material you can process them into exceptional final images. However without a solid basis to work from you won't be able to get those stand-out, exhibition quality pictures.

If you stick with either of the two you should be getting good results from them. AA5 has some neat tools for sorting out funny shaped stars too.

The main issue is debayering, there's many ways to debayer. PI VNG and DSS are some of the best - they create vectors so that the colouring can be interpolated without just using the closest colour.
