Siril will convert raw to fits and also gives control of if (and how) to debayer.

Hi Misange, I use a X-T2 for my astrophotography. I recommend Siril for stacking - it's fast, free and handles the X-Trans sensors. It will work with Fuji .raf raw files - it's converts them to .fits for stacking. One thing to watch for is that Siril requires a lot of free disk space for temp files ...

Could you please add color module matrix entries for the Fuji X-trans series of sensors eg. X-T2, X-T3, etc?
These could really benefit as the weightings between R, G & B are different to a traditional Bayer filter.

One thing I have noticed with the new 1.8.516 alpha is I now sometimes have an immediate crash with no message on the command line or entry in the log. Once triggered this is a hard failure on every program launch. A complete reboot always seems to clear the problem, so I assume it's some sort of un...

Very unscientific but, the '20 minute initial calc' dataset is now down to just over 3 minutes for the default settings on module entry, with 1.8.516 on the same machine. That's fine for me, and similar to what I get with the Super Structure module. These new defaults are, to my mind, a much better ...

I have to agree - I'm actually finding this HDR module a backwards step from the previous. I have to wait multiple minutes even on low resolution images (eg. 1k x1k). This is for the default 50 pixels context size, I don't dare vary the context size to see what effect this has. I know the benefit is...

Here's what I got from the new data. I used Siril to register and stack the two files together first. Ivo's comment about the color channel alignment still holds. I used the lens module to slightly compensate by shifting the blue and red channels separately but that's not going to fully compensate. ...

Here's what I got from the 2021-07-18 stack...

There's something odd going on with the 2021-08-13 stack. There's a repeating single pixel artefact across the whole image at approx 26 pixel spacing...

Thanks for the guidance Ivo. Interesting thread, and some more reading for the list. It's sad how many topics on CN end up with a confrontational tone. Because of that I largely avoid it now.

Thanks for your kind words, Charles.
