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.
Hi,
Here is an integrated image of 3 x 20min. (Ha) frames and 3 x 25min. (Ha frames), so a total of 6 frames. I used the Ha Algorithm from Tab 0 and it has darks, bias, bpm and flats applied to it. I can't see any nebulosity. I just see a black bakcground with stars, so no contrast. It was taken from Portland Downtown with a QHY9M and narrowband filter.

If you have tips for processing single Ha frames, please let me know. My goal is to have a good Ha integrated image, and then integrate my Ha image to a OSC image of the same object, and if you have tips for doing Ha + Color, please let me know too.
Please, let me know what you think and/or if you can see any nebulosity.
Best,
Miquel
Something is wrong with your data file, stretching has no effect on it.
Do you care to post the 6 original fits frames ?
Hi Joao,
I just put everything and one correction, it's 5 sub-frames. 3 subs at 20min and 2 frames at 25min. The above folder should contain now, all the frames, master flat, master dark, master bias and BPM.

Also, here are some screenshots on how I have SGP configured for my QHY9M. I don't know if an SGP setting could be affecting offset or gain and hence, clipping my black point to the point that it can't be stretched.

I look forward to hear you feedback.

Sorry for the delay, I'll have a look as well, stay tuned. 🙂
edit: upon reading your process, you don't want to select the Ha algorithm in the 0-tab as this is meant for one-shot colour camera's.
Hi Vincent,
No worries. After checking in a couple of other forums. I learned that my offset and gain settings are very likekly the reason for my black point to be clipped. I will re-take these images when I have clear skies with the new settings and hopefully, all good.
Thanks for jumping in to help. Best, Miquel
