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.

Hello,

About 8.7hrs of mostly dual band HA/OIII data and some RGB data, all shot with ASI294MC @600s, gain 120 and -10C. Postprocessed with APP and combined with the combine RGB tool. I finally start to get a little feel for the RGB combine tool. Final processing done in PS. Don't hesitate to give some tips/tricks, advice or things to do better and make myself better!

Thanks,

Michel

I think it's amazing! Very difficult to get any patch of background to do LP correction on though. 🙂

Thanks! Yes, I skipped the LP because on the first try it took away too much nebula.

I think you can still try it, now that you know where the background seems to be. It could, maybe, get the darker spots a little more even.
