Altair AA183M Pro (through ASCOM), FITS header contains Bayer information
Issue #851
resolved
When using the Altair ASCOM driver (v 1.4.134.0) to capture images, the FITS files contain Bayer filter information (namely keywords: BAYERPAT, XBAYROFF and YBAYROFF). However, this is a mono camera and the ASCOM dialogue shows it as such.
The Bayer information is confusing image processing software and headers must be manipulated with extra software to compensate.

I received feedback from Atlair. The issue is known to them and they are working on a fix. A beta release of the ASCOM driver should come soon that includes a fix for this issue.

Bjorn, I just connected my Altair 115M via ASCOM, and the ASCOM driver reports it as RGGB (ITelescopeV3.SensorType) instead of Monochrome. This looks to be an ASCOM driver issue. Can you report it to Altair please?
