I looked through the wiki for narrowband processing to make sure it wasn’t my mistake, but if I do not have at least one process selected under “Extra Processing for Narrowband” AutoIntegrate stops at processing the AutoRGB file. The files debayer and the channels are extracted with HOS correctly.
I also noticed that the channel files created with AutoIntegrate still include the old fits filter header
FILT-1 ‘RGB’
And a new one is added
FILTER ‘H’

Hi Daniel,
Not sure what is be the problem. Could you please send me AutoIntegrate.log file? Or if possible you could send me a very small subset of data to reproduce the problem.
Regards,
Jarmo
I started with OSC subs that were calibrated in Astro Pixel Processor and APP adds “FILT-1 ‘RGB’” to the fits header. When AutoIntegrate is separating the channels the fits header “Filter H” is added and the imaged ends up with two filters in the fits header. AutoIntegrate then treats the image as RGB and not mono.
When I choose a processes in “Extra Processing for Narrowband” the narrow band will get processed. Maybe because “Extra Processing for Narrowband” processes look at the file name and not the fits header.
I don’t have the logs but basically the AutoIntigrate finishes the integration at AutoRGB with no errors if I have not selected any processes in “Extra Processing for Narrowband”.
Daniel
This is a copy of the fits header. There is also a bayer matrix in the fits header.

AutoIntegrate uses only the FILTER keyword, it does not check FILT-1 keyword. Since FILTER = ‘H’ is in the FITS header it should treat the file as a mono H file. Unfortunately I cannot quite understand what goes wrong.
