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.
I finally got a chance to try the new 1.061 and I'm very pleased with it, as it really speeds up my processing of multi channel images. However, trying things out I notice that when you indicate "apply filter header tag" to flats it seems to find the filter header but when I calibrate with the appropriate dark flat it gives the critical warning 'flat field calibration cannot be performed correctly'. When I don't apply the filter header tag to the same flat but manually select the correct channel it calibrates correctly with the appropriate dark flat.
So, I'm not sure if this is a bug or if the 'apply filter header tag' is only supposed to be used with lights.
I have found the problem. When you add either Flats or Lights and use "apply filter header" , those headers in the Flats or Lights will add new filter choices to the list, if they are worded different from the available choices.. For example my flats added the filter choices Ha, OIII and SII. For Dark Flats you cannot choose the already available Hydrogen Alpha, Sulfur II or Oxygen III instead. You must choose the new filter choices that were added from the flats/lights - which were in my case were the short forms.
Hi @tim,
Thank you for your investigation.
Yes, you need to select the same filter names to be able to match them. Probably I need to add a string pattern recognition for these filters so Ha or H-a or Halpha (etc) will be automatically asigned to Hydrogen Alpha. That should prevent this confusion 😉
Thanks,
Mabula
