First image with my ASI585MC using Sharpcap.
No filter applied. The trees are magenta! Is this normal?

Purple trees
Since you're using no filter, it's probably the IR sensitivity of the sensor.
You are including a bit of the infrared part of the spectrum, like in infrared photography.

I remember what fire looks like with a full spectrum modded DSLR - it's pink or purple
infrared photography is nice; I remember I lost interest because of the prices.

Also - there is no white balance being applied, unlike in normal photography where you preselect a white balance or apply a custom balance after the fact. This is one of the reasons, by the way, we use color calibration in astrophotography. PixInsight’s spectrophotometric calibration allows you to use, for example, specific types of stars in your image as standard references to calibrate.

Make sure to use a UV/IR cut filter for imaging (especially DeepSky Photography). The ASI585MC is letting through parts of the IR spectrum.
Other than that a color calibration will take care of the colors.

Adding Dual-Narrowband data to an OSC image
Hello everyone. After 2 months of cloudy nights I finally caught a night when I can take my telescope outside. For my next target I decided to image M 33. I bought a UV/IR cut filter and have been using that for the first night of collecting data. I ...

Reduced CA without AI
I tried an old (as I’ve now learned) method, fueled by frustration, to reduce chromatic aberration in my images. I’m shooting with a Explore Scientific ES-ED102, a ZWO ASI 2600MC PRO, and an Optolong L-Para. The Method: After loading the final stacke...
