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. Â Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
Hello!
Maybe this is a dumb question, but I was wondering if I could use data from an OSC sensor (like the ASI533MC-Pro) to make an SHO version by using the appropriate algorithms in the "0) RAW/FITS" tab to extract the corresponding emission lines and recombining them later on.
The use case I've been thinking about is OSC color data that has been captured from a dark site. I already own an L-extreme and Sii filters and use them on my light polluted backyard, but I'm wondering if I go to a dark site and collect full color data, could that be also useful to create SHO images?
Thanks in advance,
Lucas.
@ldipenti Hi Lucas,
No, that will not be possible. Both Ha and SII are red and cannot be separated from each other. You'll need to use the L-eXtreme filter for capturing Ha and OIII and the SII filter for capturing SII, even from a dark site.

@wvreeven Thanks Wouter, it was my hope that I could do some "narrowband imaging" from a dark site by using a technique like that, because otherwise to swamp the sensor's read noise I need very good tracking (that I don't have 🙂 )
Hi Lucas,
What you could try is to try to separate them like this...
1) Tab 0: Ha OIII extract Ha -> all the way till integrate: this will be your Ha for RGB Combine (Tab Tools)
2) Again in Tab 0: Ha OIII extract OIII -> you will need to normalize them again and then Integrate: this will be your OIII for RGB Combine
3) Again tab 0: Ha OIII Mono -> you will need to normalize them again and then Integrate: you can save as Luminance and pick it up a SII for RGB Combine

Here you can find the video I got it from:
Hope it it is useful,

@camarieu hi Carlos thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking that maybe the extraction algorithms were able to separate the two shades of red from Ha and Sii.Â
I will try this technique to see if it helps getting a nice image but I was looking to also get something scientifically accurate Â
Cheers,
Lucas
