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.
My image of the nebula region around the star Sadr in the constellation Cygnus. The pictures were taken on four nights with a TS-Photoline APO 360mm, using a UHC clip filter for my EOS 750Da. The total exposure time is 6 hours, which consists of 60s and 180s lights.
I hope you like it 😉
Clear skies, Stefan
Yes, lots of details. I'm missing a bit of color though, this filter shouldn't supress too much color right?
The pictures were taken in July this year at a warm outside temperature. The chip temperature of my EOS 750Da was partly 29°C and the darks and flats of course have different temperatures. Of course this is not ideal for processing the pictures. This is the big disadvantage compared to a cooled CMOS camera.

Ah it blocks a decent amount, mainly for light polution purposes.
edit: no blue shouldn't be blocked. So interesting why that's not present here. Anyway, food for thought in a next attempt maybe. 😉 Could also be due to the exposure, if stars get saturated color is lost as well.
