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 there,
I am new to using Astro Pixel Processor and have been enjoying the software so far for my deep sky astrophotography. Recently; I have been getting into narrowband imaging using a dual narrowband filter; and I am trying to optimize my workflow to get the best results.
I have come across some challenges in balancing the signal between the two channels. I noticed that my Ha data often appears much stronger than the OIII; leading to an unbalanced final image. Could someone suggest the best practices within APP to equalize the narrowband data during processing?
Should I process each channel separately and then combine them; or is it better to process them together from the start?
Are there any particular settings within the integration step that help optimize the signal balance between Ha and OIII?
Also, I have gone through this post; https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/main-forum/processing- aws-devops-star-colors-lrgb-narrow-band/ which definitely helped me out a lot.
After combining the channels, how do I best enhance the weaker OIII signal without introducing noise or losing detail in the Ha?
Thank you in advance for your help and assistance. 😇Â
