Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
I've been playing with APP for under a week, learning from video tutorials etc. After running tab 3. Analyse Stars I checked the chosen reference image and saw it was very poor - massive star trailing compared to all the other frames - so not sure why that was selected as the Ref. Also I tried right clicking and selecting create analytic graph but nothing showed up. Also the sorting by certain columns doesn't appear to work.
This is indeed a bit strange, also as the FWHM values are higher then other frames (which makes sense given the trails). Is this with the latest version of APP? And did you see this with other data sets as well?
Hi Vincent thanks for replying. I tried with a different set and the image with highest quality was chosen as reference so that worked. Â
I did notice another issue in registration on the new dataset where red was slightly displaced so will investigate.
Not sure why the graph doesn't work though.
I think I know why the chosen image counted as reference image. it appears the frame has double star images across whole frame (must have suffered a knock) - so presumably star density metric doubled!
