Very impressed with the results I have obtained with APP

Hi Mabula,

I've now managed to process two images with APP using the trial license and am very pleased with the results, see attached Ghosts of Gamma Cas and Iris Nebula. 

I have used several other imaging packages in the past so have some idea what to expect but generally I've found the package very straight-forward to use once I'd got to grips with preparing calibration frames and experimented a bit with the slider controls on  the RHS of screen.  Overall I am very impressed with its capabilities and look forward to seeing what future releases will bring.

On a minor usability issue I find the placement of the RHS sliders and the associated labels slightly misleading, ie I find myself incorrectly moving the slider below a label (as it is the closer) when I should be moving the one above.  If you are able to move the relative spacing of the labels and slider I think that would significantly improve useability, at least for me!

Looking critically at my images they clearly benefit from additional data capture to bring out the fainter details better - but imaging time in the UK is horribly limited. Apart from this I believe I have a small issue of banding in the darker areas which I think is due to some incorrect bias correction.  I am using a stack of 140 bias frames.  Would you agree with my assessment and do you have any

suggestions as to how I might reduce or eliminate this effect.

In summary, thanks for producing such an excellent package and I think you will shortly have a purchase in the near future.

Regards

Mike
