UPDATE FROM MABULA
I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
I could not select the faint comet. It always switches to the Star next to the comet. As in the toutorial seen, the green box is missing.
Are you using the latest APP version? This one does seem tricky as the comet almost has no clear nucleus it seems.
Yes:
The Comet C/2020 F5 MASTER is ca. 16.0 Mag. with less nucleus, but not tricky.
The problem is I cloud not select the Comet. APP always selects the Star and no way to the comet. Faint comets have no or less nucleus and sometime they are near a Star, but stacking it, (no comet stacking) you see the nucleus very good.
No, I mean that the selection of the comet may be tricky for the APP algorithm in this specific case. Would be nice if you can share your data (like 10 lights and the calibration masters) so we can try to improve it.
Uploaded 10 of my Pictures with comet C2020 F5 MASTER.
Thanks Peter, I'll download it and have a look. If it indeed is an issue, I'll put it in our comet folder to see if we can use the data to further improve detection, if possible.
Can you also upload the calibration masters you used? I do see the comet indeed, but it's a tricky one. I've shared it with Mabula as well.
Have the same problem this week. Trying to catch the bright C2022 E3 ZTF and the faint C/2022 U2 Atlas comet together. It is not possible to select a faint nucleus. It jumps over to a brighter star.
