Strange white pixels on imaging software

[Luca]

I have a Celestron NexStar 4SE telescope, and I got the Neximage burst camera for it. It uses the imaging software "iCap 2.4". The pictures were showing up in low resolution, 

(picture of grass) so I zoomed in and saw these white pixels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Out of every 9 pixels, 4 were these strange white ones. When I scroll the live display, the real view moves, but the white pixels stay. So it's not part of what the camera is seeing, they're just being pasted on top. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Hi Luca,

Don't worry, there's nothing to fix. This is a feature of One Shot Colour cameras which includes DSLRs to get a colour image. All the camera sensors are monochrome so to get colour, coloured filters are placed in front of the pixels in what's called a Bayer Filter Array. That's what you're seeing as the white dots. The software you use to process the image should have options to de-bayer the captured image to create the actual colour image. 🙂
