Latest nightly build downloaded today creates issues with platesolving with DSLR

Issue #294 resolved
Tom Kennedy created an issue

I downloaded the latest nightly build this evening and when I tried to platesolve with my DSLR it failed on an invalid image file type error. My guess is that NINA told it to look for a FITS file and I sent over a CRW file. I installed the latest beta and all is well now. Just passing this along.

    Ah yes, I can see how this would happen now. For my reference, what Plate Solver were you using?

    Yeah the save method of the ImageData object ignores the fits flag when raw dslr data exists unfortunately. A workaround would be to clear this raw dslr data as it is not required anyways before saving the image data

    Yeah that’s the reason. I don’t think I’ll take quite that approach though. I need to mull it over 🙂 The quick fix is to add a flag to ignore the raw data but that feels fishy. Perhaps I’ll do that to get this fixed immediately while I continue thinking about it.
