DSS Raw settings for Canon 40D?

[Dr Dixon]

In the Raw/FITS settings for DeepSkyStacker, under Raw you can add a value to adjust the Red and Blue channels relative to the Green, by default these are 1.00 but the DSS help says put in values suitable for your Camera.

I assume these values compensate for the lower efficiency in the blue and red pixels (as there are half as many of these as green) but thats just me guessing.

So question what values are correct for a Cannon 40d?

With my 400D I use the following settings, the 40D will be similar just a different camera selection, these are the settings that work for me:-

In the RAW/Fits section leave all at default for colour adjustment (1.0000),

Untick use Auto White Balance

Untick Use Camera White Balance

Bayer Matrix - Tick AHD Interpolation

Under the FITS/Files tab:-

Tick Monochrome 16 Bit FITS / Raw files

In the Camera drop down box select Canon 40D in your case

Tick - AHD Interpolation

Under Stacking Checked pictures click "Recommended Settings"

Use RGB Background Calibration
