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!
Today I decided to run again the whole workflow step by step and not with automatic selections. Â Now I am in step 6 Integration and here is my question: The "best" approach is to check the Quality Score and then decide how many subs to stack?
For example I have 269 subs from M31, 4 different sessions (all the other capture settings same)
If I right click - sort on quality I get this back. So If for example want not to include subs with lower than a specific score, I have to adjust the slider on the 6 Integration tab accordingly, correct?Â
If that is correct, I find it a little bit confusing to calculate that, cause I can see that the sorting is per session and not for all subs at once. For every session the sorting resets.
Am I getting it right?
You can decide to stack less images by sliding the "lights to stack" in the integration tab and then APP will throw out the lowest quality. You can also just leave them in, setting it to "quality" will give much less importance to the lowest quality frames, but they still help to reduce the noise overall.
@vincent-mod
More subs will help to reduce the noise, but if those subs are not so good? For example if 2-3 subs have not so good stars? Wouldn't they "help" to create issues to the final image?
(garbage in - garbage out)
Yes, but if you set the integration to non automatic and on "Quality", then those frames will not influence the end result much (if you have enough in total) but will help in reducing the noise.
