Good morning all,
Here is the FIT header of the last image in a series of 19 images (Atik Horizon color camera) saved and stacked last night with Infinity:
SIMPLE = T
BITPIX = 16
NAXIS = 2
NAXIS1 = 4644
NAXIS2 = 3506
BSCALE = 1
BZERO = 32768
XPIXSZ = 3,79999995231628
YPIXSZ = 3,79999995231628
XBINNING= 1
YBINNING= 1
EXPTIME = 120
ISCOLOUR= T
DATE-OBS= '2020-07-27T01:06:31.968'
BAYOFFX = 1
BAYOFFY = 0
GAIN = 6
OFFSET = 27
END
and here is the fit header of the stacked image:
SIMPLE = T
BITPIX = 16
NAXIS = 2
NAXIS1 = 4644
NAXIS2 = 3506
BSCALE = 1
BZERO = 32768
XPIXSZ = 3,79999995231628
YPIXSZ = 3,79999995231628
XBINNING= 1
YBINNING= 1
EXPTIME = 120
ISCOLOUR= T
DATE-OBS= '2020-07-27T01:06:31.968'
BAYOFFX = 1
BAYOFFY = 0
GAIN = 6
OFFSET = 27
END
These two headers are strictly identical, however:
with Fitswork the image of the series is correctly debayered by the filter G R / B G, while the image resulting from the stacking is correctly debayered by the filter R G / G B.
Can we trust the BAYOFFX, BAYOFFY indications? What do they mean?

Hello Michel,
The bayer matrix offsets are correctly identified by our software and most other astro software. If you are unsure what the offset should be have a look at this video we made a few years ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6A2y3W0uJY&feature=emb_logo
With your images where the offset has changed is it possible the image was rotated?
Best regards
Vince

OK,I get it,tks!
