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 have a mixture of darks with different durations - 30, 60, 90, 130, and 180 seconds - and I’d like to create masters for each duration. Is APP able to sort the whole group and automatically create masters for each duration, or do I have to load and process each exposure duration group by itself?

thanks,

 

Wayne

Hi,

Not sure if you get the solution yet. There are two approaches in creating master darks for different exposures. For the first one, I would load different duration of darks in 'multi-session processing' to create master darks for each exposure. Or, using all darks to create a single master darks and check 'scale MasterDark' on calibration step.

Clear skies,

Kijja

Dark scaling isn't the best approach here. I would only use that if you don't have any proper darks for a certain sub-length. There is no auto-grouping yet, which would be nice indeed, so loading separately is probably the fastest or using the multi-session feature indeed.
