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've just started back doing some astrophotography having been absent for a while due to illness. In this time APP has changed a fair bit.
I've also moved from a DSLR to a ZWO Asi 1600MM and I'm in the process of creating a darks library. Having taken 100 images at each setting I now want to create master darks for each setting to use in the future.
Looking at APP I can open my 100 images and when I go to calibrate there is now a setting for automatic can I just use this to create my master darks or do I have to enter Average etc like I used to do.
Thanks
Doug
Automatic should work fine yes, rejection parameters and what algorithm to use is then set properly. Don't forget to select to create a BPM, which you can use regardless of the gain.

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for the reply.
I've not done a BPM at this time as I only have darks and I was waiting until I have some dark flats as I've read you should not use bias frames with the Asi 1600MM.
Having not used the Asi 1600 before when I make the BPM do I only have to make it once. I don't have to make one for each gain/offset.
Thanks
Doug
Sorry, just read your reply again and see that gain etc doesn't matter.
