Cannot Analyse star...

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.

I have played around with the settings under 3)  but I cannot get APP to analyse the stars in these frames. Sample Attached. 

ngc 55 2018 10 02 30sec 1x1 Lum frame51 St St

Any suggestions ?

Hi @lanties,

Can you send me a couple if frames, so I can have a close look? (3-5 frame will be fine)

Please send them to support@astropixelprocessor.com with wetransfer.com or dropbox.

What does happen? No star count at all, or less than 6?

Mabula

Hi @mabula-haverkamp-administrator,

I have emailed the dropbox link.

It seems that it is not detecting any stars

Regards

Johan

Thank you, I will download it and will have a look immediately 😉

Hi Johan @lanties ,

Which APP version are you using currently?

The latest release: APP 1.067 , has no problem detecting several hundreds of stars in the images and registration is no problem as well.

All with default settings:

No Problem APP 1067

Perhaps you are on an older version? There have been quite a few upgrades in star analysis in the last releases.

Kind regards,

Mabula

I am on 1.067.  I always just use default settings except for 6). Got a message that APP could not detects stars and that I had to lower kappa value. in 3). I then started playing around with the values but with no success. Could it be calibration data that perhaps need to be redone?

Hi Johan @lanties,

Without calibration masters all is fine, so yes, I suspect a problem with your calibration masters. Please verify the masters 😉

Check how an image looks calibrated using the l-calibrated image viewer mode, that might give a clear clue.

Hi Mabula (@mabula-haverkamp-administrator,

My humble apologies. APP works perfect! I really do not know what I did wrong. I just closed down everything and started from scratch and all worked out 100%. This was just a test in Lum on NGC 55 to see what I can get if I spend some time on it. Your prompt assistance are much appreciated and apologies for wasting time on this.

No problem Johan @lanties,

I am glad that all is allright now. If such a thing happens again, do check the calibrated data with the l-calirbated image viewer mode. That is very usefull to point out a problem with the data or the calibration frames 😉

Have a great day 😉

Mabula
