15th Feb 2024: Astro Pixel Processor 2.0.0-beta29 released - macOS native File Chooser, macOS CMD-Q fixed, read-only Fits on network fixed and other bug fixes
7th December 2023: added payment option Alipay to purchase Astro Pixel Processor from China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Korea, Japan and other countries where Alipay is used.
I started in astrophotography about 6 months ago, and this image of the Heart Nebula is only my 4th 'proper' image (mainly thanks to the British weather!), so I've quite pleased with the way it's turned out.
My understanding and success rate has dramatically leaped forward since I've discovered and now use APP for pre-processing - it just works! Thanks Mabula, terrific app! I've tried them all (APT, Pixinsight and so on) but APP is the only one I've found that simply and easily gets on with the task in hand and produces consistent quality results.

PS: I notice that lots of blue colour background noise is showing in this image, which is not evident in the original image! I needed to reduce the quality a fair bit in order to upload it, so I presume that's why ….
Hi Richard,

Clear skies,
