Q:
I have the original Origin-178C camera and the new Origin-678C cameras side by side, but they look very similar. Is there an easy way to tell them apart?
I have the original Origin-178C camera and the new Origin-678C cameras side by side, but they look very similar. Is there an easy way to tell them apart?
Yes. The Origin-678C camera has a serial number starting with “678” printed on the exterior of the housing. See the images below for examples.
Q:
I am manually processing my raw image files with third-party software, what Bayer pattern format should I use?
I am manually processing my raw image files with third-party software, what Bayer pattern format should I use?
For #12100 Celestron Origin Mark II, or if you are otherwise using the Celestron Origin-678C camera, then you should normally use GBRG.
Q:
I am manually processing my raw image files with third-party software, and I understand that the Bayer pattern using the Origin-678C camera should be GBRG, but when I examine my raw files, they appear very green. Why is this?
I am manually processing my raw image files with third-party software, and I understand that the Bayer pattern using the Origin-678C camera should be GBRG, but when I examine my raw files, they appear very green. Why is this?
The raw image files are as the camera records them, and the Origin-678C camera is very sensitive to green. The white balance should be adjusted with the third-party software when manually processing the images. For reference, the white balance values Origin uses in its internal imaging processing software are Red=227, Green=255, Blue=139. These values are a good starting point, but additional color corrections may be needed depending on the target and conditions.
