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.
Hello, I'm using a 2600MC Pro camera and two different NB filters, one for Ha-OIII and another one for SII-OIII. I get from the post below:
https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/main-forum/sii-oiii-dualband-filter/
how to extract the SII (treat it like it's Ha in the "Algorithm" setting on Tab 0). For the OIII part of this filter, for Algorithm should I use "Oxygen III (OIII)" or "Ha-OIII extract OIII"? Arguing by analogy from the above post, I suspect the latter, but I wanted to check before diving too deeply into my stacking project for NGC7000-IC5070.
Also, in an upcoming release of APP, are there plans to include a new Algorithm specifically to extract SII and OIII from a NB filter in a similar fashion as a Ha and OIII filter?
Thanks as always!
-Kevin
Curious if anyone has thoughts on the above. Thanks!
Hi Jon.
See here: https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/tutorials-workflows/askar-colour-magic-filter-c1-c2-stacking-flow/#post-30580
and here: https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/tutorials-workflows/ha-oiii-integration-which-algorithm-in-0raw-fits/#post-32888
I have the Altair 6nm Combo, and following exactly this, I successfully generate:
- Ha and OIIIa from my Ha-OIII Filter
- SII and OIIIb from my SII-OIII Filter.
I then register OIIIa and OIIIb to OIII and have my 3 Narrowband FITS.Â
Stacking is really good (best) in APP - for all other I use PixInsight.
You need to carefully (re)name, and assign the right flats, darks and bias.
Thanks, Michael!
