Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
Does ATIK Apx60 Color camera is supported ?
I have lights, master dark, master bias and master flat calibration frames made on AITK Apx60 Color camera raw files.
For weeks I've been fighting with a bad light calibration process.
The calibration, registration and normalization results are shown in the below examples.
As you can see, after the calibration process, the signal on the calibrated light frame became very faint. It's faaaar from the result which I should get.
What am I doing wrong ? or maybe my camera is simply not supported ?
BTW, if you need files to work on and find a solution they are very big:
- over 230MB.fits each calibration file
- over 100MB.fits light file
The RAW light view:

The Registered light view:
The normalized light view:
The MasterBias view - zoomed:
The MasterBias full frame view:
The MasterDark - zoomed view:
The MasterFlat view:
The BadPixelMap view:
The StarMap view:
I found the solution myself. The issue is no longer relevant.
