Subject: OrangeMicro iBot color problem

I hope it's okay to ask these questions here. I'm a new user of

AstroIIDC and am not sure where else to get information.

I'm having an issue with my OrangeMicro iBot and AstroIIDC. If I use

barely any Red Gain at all (even with saturation set very low), I end

up with a Red grid pattern on my video as part of the object I'm

shooting (lately Mars). Obviously, reducing the Red gain makes the

object Green. If I take both gains all the way down to zero, my object

is still green. I just can't get realistic color. I'm assuming this an

issue with my webcam, but am hoping there might be something I can do

in AstroIIDC to correct it.
