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.
Hi all,
Â
I can kick myself for not being consistent in AP and after near a year I decided to get back into it.
I have taken M101 over the last few nights using my rig (ODK 14 inch which has corrector, and in-between I have a filter draw to mount my square LP filter followed by G4 16000 CCD and with all the filters.
Â
I have dumped everything into the latest software of APP and left every at default and began the process, something which has worked well for me in the past.Â
Â
For some reason I am seeing terrible indented flats being applied at the final stages on process.Â
Â
After speaking with the staff who made the camera ADU should be around 30K with exposure 4 - 5 secondsÂ
Â
My dark frames at 10 mins each Â
Lights at 5 m eachÂ
Bias 0sÂ
Flats 5s
Â
I have tried without the dark and bias frames and getting the same result. My darks and bias frames are from February this year btw.Â
Â
When I am creating a master light frame and stretched I cannot these large bunnies!! So I'm a little confused...
Â
I have only taken my flats with SGP Pro, the rest was with voyager software.Â
Â
Â
I'd love for someone to shed some light!Â
Â
Since this post I cleaned all the filters and I must say i didn't see much dirt at all!!Â
Â
Thanks in advance.Â
Â
Â
Â
P.S I have just stacked the lights only and darked the image via levels in PS.. Dam there is alot of bunniesÂ
Â
Â
Â
I would start with not taking the bias at 0 seconds, up that to about 0.5 seconds per frame as some sensors have issues in the fastest speed range (signal not being linear). I would also advice to take your darks at the same settings as your lights, also exposure time wise.
@vincent-mod thanks I think I resolved the issue as the main problem was the LP between in the optical trainÂ
Â
Nothing to so with dark or bias on this occasion as without them it was still noticeable.Â
Â
ThanksÂ
