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.
Good morning. Can someone advise me on how I do the following process please.
I’m using a DSLR and have taken my lights, darks, flats and bias frames of the American Nebula and have them on my desktop. If I run APP I get a great image of the American Nebula showing it in the H-Alpha red colour. Whilst that looks great I’ve seen the same composition which was processed combining just the RGB & HOO channels and would love to know how I do this in APP?? Currently using the L-Enhance filter but have a Quadband on its way. If you can point me to any videos or give me a idiots guide that would be great.
You can have a look at this workflow: https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/tutorials-workflows/combining-r-g-b-with-ha-oiii-data-using-an-optolong-l-enhance-filter/
This is for such a filter, or at least you can adapt the workflow to work for such a filter as well. Be aware that color calibration with RGB and narrowband data is quite tricky. For the best workflow you can look at this workflow: https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/tutorials-workflows/hargb-and-lhargb-workflow-and-star-color-calibration/#post-10863
