So, I wondered if Iridient would do any better. Iridient has had an excellent reputation in the Fuji community for several years in producing wonderfully detailed output from Fuji X-trans sensors. Second option: Iridient X-Transformer RAF to DNG utility became available. The resulting astrophotos are colorful and have good detail, but I was never convinced that all of the detail in the sensor was preserved in the final images. I kept looking, though, and finally found two solutions that work reliably:įirst option: Import each XT-1 raw file into Lightroom and then export as DNG using the option in the Export Dialog box, under File Settings, Image Format, Compatibility set as "Camera Raw 6.6 and later." DSS will then use the DNG files just fine. Like you I tried unsuccessfully to use DSS with RAW files and just used jpegs, which gave mediocre results. I am definitely an amateur at astrophotography, and had the XT-1 as a family camera prior to starting astrophotography. ![]() ![]() It has a reasonable response to H-alpha, it is low noise, and I think the absence of a low-pass filter in front of the sensor allows greater definition. I like the results the camera gives though. When I found the same issue as you I started a thread on here which you might want to read. Currently he has it up and running for Canon and Nikon raw files, and intends to work on Sony, Fuji and Pentax raws soon. I'm keeping an eye on the new AstroPixel Processor (APP) as his coding doesn't use the DCRAW script at all. So I end up de-mosaicing on load and just do the calibration on the de-mosaiced files. The problem lies in the non-Bayer filter pattern of the X-TRANS sensor. Even then, that isn't totally doing the job properly because the calibration should be done on the raw files, and the stacking on the de-mosaiced files, but once the files have been calibrated the resultant FITS can't be de-mosaiced. As I do Alt-Az imaging with short subs I end up with many files and the storage was excessive, so I've now turned to AstroArt to do the calibration and stacking. ![]() Converting to DNG does work, but not using the latest conversion protocol. Short answer is: "No it won't!"I gave up trying to get my Fuji X-T1 RAFs to work with DSS! Even though I was using the latest DSS, and DCRAW 'should' be able to de-mosaic the files, like you all I got was a black image.
