v2.0

This release introduces a new feature which will be supremely helpful to X-Trans sensor Fuji users.

Previously, X-Trans cameras would send raw sensor data to NINA, which would package the data as a FITS/XISF or whatever file type you choose. The issue is that this file does not contain any identifying information telling software how to deal with that very strange bayer pattern. What this would lead to is very strange colors that are simply debayered wrong, leading to unusable images. In order to solve this, Juan Conejero over at Pixinsight is currently coming up with a script to rewrite the XISF metadata in the NINA files so that Pixinsight sees them as x-trans correctly and debayers properly.

You may now realize, this is exclusive to Pixinsight users, which didn't sit right with me entirely, as much as I love Pixinsight, because many Fuji users may not have the money/experience/want to buy Pixinsight in order to take advantage of this. So, this new release incorporates a new checkbox in your ASCOM settings, shown below:

This new button labeled "Save .RAF to SD Card" will do exactly what it says, save a native Fuji raw file to your SD card. NINA will still get its file, allowing full NINA functionality to continue, but you'll get a set of native Fuji raw files to work with in processing just like any other DSLR user. Of course, the only catch is they're on the SD card, not your computer, but these are the limitations of the Fuji SDK and I cannot overcome them as far as I'm aware.

Please use this version if you wish to have Fuji RAF files saved to your camera in conjunction with the NINA functionality. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need help setting up the driver or if this release has any issues.
