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.
Sorry, my question is certainly stupid.
I have manage to combined several filtered monochrome views into a nice HaRGB image, but when I us the "save" button, it exports a fits file.
I just wonder if it is possible to export into other image format like Jpeg or tiff ? Didn't find any option in this way
Thanks

@alpheratz06 Hi Jean-Philippe,
In my opinion there are no stupid questions. Once you have saved the HaRGB file, it appears at the bottom of the files list at the bottom of the APP window. You can double click it there to open it again. Next you can enable the Stretch check box on the upper right and then click the Save button. You will then get a popup for the file name and then a popup for the file type. There you can select JPEG or TIFF.
FYI FITS is the de facto astronomical standard for data, including images, and is in every sense of the word a "true" image file format 🙂
HTH, Wouter
@wvreeven Thank you very much , it worked great.
By the way , I'm a very unexperienced astro-photographer (even though I've shot a few non-astro picturesà and the results are very impressive.
I have attached my first "serious" picture, I mean with an astro camera, filters, and the result I got from scratch is very promising. orion of course, no alternative with respect to shoot toward the south (serious lockdown here) , not possible polar alignment, seeing far from perfect.
Regards
@alpheratz06 That is really great for a first result. Well done!
I see a lot of short colored lines in your image. Those are caused by hot pixels and by drift in your images. You can get rid of those by using dark frames, which help APP to identify and correct the hot pixels. Good luck!
@wvreeven I'm eager to do much better, I will learn and practice about calibration (dark etc) I noticed also vignetting is very important so I will manage to shoot some flats
Thanks , I appreciate your help.
clear skies !
