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 was imaging the star SADR in Cygnus with my 10" R/C and got some over the top reflection. I have tried experimenting with the light pollution tool to grab sections of that gray around the star, and it removes some sections in the top left where there is bright nebulosity behind it. I was just curious if APP can even work on that level. Not sure how to even attempt in photoshop either.Â
Not really, this artifact is so big that I think it will create other artifacts in place of the reflection. The star reducer may do better in this respect in the future, but don't expect miracles.
If I'm not mistaken, that might have to do with the primary baffle tube being too short.
There are quit some threads on CN on this theme, for my RC8 it works very well!
There are many different sizes for each RC, check this thread:
You could try with some carton rolled into a tube that fits inside your primary baffle and see if that helps!
Good luck,
Mert
