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. Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
Hi, I have just started my Astrophotography journey. I have done a couple of nights imaging and now I am working on the processing after purchasing APP. I have successfully processed public data on APP before but am having issues with meh own FITS images. When I go to analyse stars I keep getting the message in my attached screenshot. I have tried taking more flats different gain etc but I can't seem to work our the channel error. I weans even aware I was using differing channels for the light and flats. I am using sharp cap for capturing on Windows bootcamp.
I will be very grateful for any help.
Thanks,
Anthony
It appears your lights are colour/CFA (3 channels = RGB), and your flats are mono?
Thank you so much for your feedback yes this was the issue and in hindsight seems like a very rookie error. Appreciate your help 🙏
OK so I took some flat frames in 3 channel and did the first project and it went fine. I then went to process some more images from the same session, using the same flats but I had the same issue as my OP. Thanks for your help.
Check Tab 0: RAW/FITS you have "Force CFA" always turned on when processing colour cams.
Somewhere along the lines it appears you're trying to process mono as colour, or colour as mono.
