Calibration problem...

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.

Calibration problem... or maybe more a camera problem?

Hello APP Team

I was trying to calibrate subs from last night and came across this unusual :

First, my camera is the ASI294MM Pro and the subs were taken at gain 121/30 -10°C with 300sec exposure time.
Most likely this is a camera problem rather then APP not doing it's job. But I am curious if any of the members have seen such behavior in the past.
The first image is from a second target taken in OIII last night showing the "regular" amp glow I would expect. Second image is the one I have problems with calibrating. The amp glow is much fainter in this sub as much it was taken with same settings and filter.

Here below is the outcome after calibration. The amp glow is still visible. The entire image actually looks like not touched at all.

Interestingly, as much the second target was taken at a slightly different rotation angle (first image) the MD, MDF and MF of the target in question, take care of the amp glow in that sub.

Should I just reshoot all the OIII subs or are there any remedies to save them? And has anyone had similar problems with ZWO cameras.

Thank you in advance

Georg

I wanted to follow up and let you know that the problem was located. It was found between computer's keyboard and chair.... ME!!!
As suspected, it was on the camera side and some of the subs were mistakenly taken in Bin1 instead of Bin2. The file name is so long that it was hidden out of site in the APP window. 

Clear skies
