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.
Good morning,
I'm using APP 1.075 beta4 to calibrate and integrate images taken on a Canon 5D MkIV DSLR and see this message during integration.
09:54:18 - 6) INTEGRATE: integrate light frames: wrote frame: 8 to file mapper

09:54:21 - 6) INTEGRATE: integrate light frames: LNC: got center coordinates and area of frame 9 in integration composition
09:54:22 - 2) CALIBRATE: Adaptive Data Pedestal: enabled
09:54:22 - 2) CALIBRATE: Adaptive Data Pedestal set at: 9.761E-03
09:54:22 - 2) CALIBRATE: WARNING !!! we have detected a possible sensor offset issue between the MasterBias and the Masterdark !
09:54:22 - 2) CALIBRATE: WARNING !!! the MasterBias has a median value of: 3.125E-02 for channel 1
09:54:22 - 2) CALIBRATE: WARNING !!! the MasterDark has a median value of: 3.112E-02 for channel 1
09:54:22 - 2) CALIBRATE: WARNING !!! normally, the median value of the MasterDark should be the same or larger than the median value of the MasterBias
09:54:22 - 2) CALIBRATE: WARNING !!! because a dark should always contain the entire bias signal plus the dark current and possible amp glow signals
09:54:22 - 2) CALIBRATE: WARNING !!! some CMOS sensors however exhibit this behaviour due to CMOS technology.
Details of the DSLR raw files are:
40 x 240 second Lights, 20 x Flats, 20 x Darks, 50 x Bias. Everything was shot at iso800 and same sensor temperature
Anything I should be doing different during the calibration or is this message fairly typical?
best regards
Kev

Nothing, it is a warning, however the values are the same or very close to being the same. It shouldn't impact the result.

Thank you Vincent. I'll continue to ignore it 🙂
