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.
I'm trying to use APP to pre-process some moon images. The calibration goes quickly, but doing a star anaylsis on each frame is a waste of time. Is there a way to skip it?
I'd like the frames to be be debayered and normalized. What's the best way to do this, avoiding star analysis? Which takes 1/2 day, literally)
I'm afraid not as APP needs to know about the stars and such to continue. It might be that, in a future version, we include some options to do just this but it's not a priority at the moment.
I again find myself trying to process moon images. Has there been any progress on this?
What I really want is just to calibrate(and this is even optional), *debayer* and nothing else. Any way to do this?
No, planetary imaging is something totally different and will require a whole new module/workflow to be implemented. Mabula does want to go there at some point, but it's not a feature on his shortlist.
Woops, sorry, calibration is still possible sorry about that. You can calibrate files with darks/bias and save them. I've been discussing this with Wouter a bit and he pointed out that saving calibrated data doesn't debayer it. I didn't realize that, so that would be an issue then as there is not a "batch" tool for debayering. I'll ask Mabula about that.
Yes, please do. I'm not asking for any new features. Just to be able to use the ones that exist already, in a slightly different way.
Yes, got that, a debayer tool shouldn't be too hard I'll forward your wish there and if I somehow looked over a thing that does that, I'll come back as well but I don't think so. 🙂
Hi @cheetah good news! We got word from Mabula about this and he might add a special option to the calibration tab for this. But, it's still possible now as well. Calibrate your data and select "align channels" in the calibrate tab down below and then save the frames. This will debayer the data as well.
