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.
This was one of the first images I took with my ASI 183MMPro Cam, re-processed with APP today. With the new integrate-all function a luminance channel was created from RGB data and this significantly lowered the noise in the end result.

Hi @schurig,
That's a beauty 😉
Happy to hear that the arteficial luminance from the R,G,B channels combined adds to the result as expected 😉
So this is only 35 x 3 x 15 seconds = 1575 seconds, less than 30 minutes?
How is calibration working with your asi183mm in APP? I got reports from 2 other users that they have residual amp glow after dark frame subtraction and will investigate this soon.
Thanks for sharing 😉

Hi,
Thank you very much.
Yes, the ASI 183 is very sensitive, so you can get good results with compareably short exposure times.
I too had problems with the residual amp glow, but maybe that came from the old way of subtracting dark and bias in the previous versions of APP? I'll keep an eye on it, at least with the orionnebula image I haven't seen it, but the object is very bright itself, so not good example to test it. I have more data to be processed on my HDD... we'll see.

Hi Stephan @schurig,
Do let me know, if you encounter problems, do send me the data so I can test. Today I will start testing using data of 2 other asi183 users 😉
