12. Accessing Raw Files for Manual Image Processing
As you use Origin and learn about astronomical imaging,
you may want to try processing your raw images manually
instead of using Origin’s AI image processing. While some
find imaging processing challenging and tedious, others enjoy
using their creative and technical skills to create a final image
they can call their own.
By default, Origin does not save raw image files to avoid filling
up Origin’s memory if you do not plan on manually processing
your images. If you wish to save your raw image files for manual
processing, you first need to enable “Save Raw Images”
under Menu>Settings>Advanced. The raw image files are
saved in the FITS, the preferred format for astronomical image
processing.
To obtain the raw images, insert a USB thumb drive into one
of the USB ports in Origin’s rear cell (Figure 27). The only
filesystems currently supported for file transfer are exFAT and
FAT32. If you plug in a thumb drive with some other filesystem,
such as NTFS (the Windows filesystem) or HFS+ (the Mac
filesystem), the file transfer won’t work.
The app has a built-in File Manager (Figure 28) to help
you access Origin’s raw image files. You can find it under
Menu>Settings>Manage Remote Files. When you navigate
to the File Manager, you’ll see two self-explanatory options:
Copy All to USB - Copies all the raw image files on Origin’s
internal memory onto the thumb drive.
Delete All Image Directories - Deletes all the raw image
files on Origin.

the raw image files.
