18-04-13 ED80 Moon shot in RAW = Problems
Taken with a Skywatcher ED80 and a Canon 600D. 4 image stack in Autostakkert. Having colour problems when using PIPP to convert RAW images to tiffs. No issues at all when using PIPP to convert jpg's. These colour artifacts only appear during wavelet sharpening after stacking, as a result the above image is only a 4 image stack but still some red artifacts, any more than 4 I get green artifacts. JPG's are so much more reliable and faster to process and are just as detailed. Reverting back to jpg for now. NOTE :--- Later on tried converting all the RAW images to 16bit tiffs before processing with PIPP to center and crop and the colour issue disappeared but the resulting image was no better than taking jpg's straight from the camera in the first place and much less processing time too :-)
