I got a (for me) new Touptek camera (branded Explore Scientific). I got it working quite quickly with my RaspberryPi/Stellarmate setup.Sadly it seems I am not able to switch it over to 16bit files (it has a 12bit ADC)
I got the file format as FITS and RAW16
When I try to change the format from RGB to RAW it doesnt work though
in the Stellarmate app it doesnt react
in EKOS via VNC I can change it but the indicator beside stays yellow and we stay at 8bit
with "image settings -> format" set to "RAW16" and "controls -> format" set to "Raw" (which doesnt activate)
I get an 8bit 3 axis FITS
(see attachment fitsRAW16.jpg)
with "image settings -> format" set to "RGB" and "controls -> format" set to "Raw" (which does activate now)
I get an 16bit 2 axis FITS
(see attachment fitsRGB.jpg)
Do I see it correctly that the second setting with "RGB" and "Raw" actually gives me a 16bit greyscale while the RAW16 setting gives me a 8bit per channel color image?
So if I take the first setup and try to debayer later it should give me the better results?
Having the exact same issue 100% the same..
Touptec (Risingcam) 571
Doing FITS/Raw/16Bit everywhere.. just get 8 Bit image... (3x 8 bit)
also RAW doesnt activate ... cannot switch there sometimes.
I don't have any of these cameras so I'm not sure what's going on. Would someone be willing to grant me remote access via Teamviewer so I can check? If yes , send a private message.
