Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
Hi,
I'd like some advice, I'm new to APP and processing in general. I have a ZWO ASI533 MC Pro camera. My Raw/Fits tab is configured to RGGB/Adaptive Airy Disc and Force Bayer/X -Trans CFA. I'm using flats, darks and bias frames...but when stacked continually have a green haze on on edge of the fit file. I'm reasonably shielded from a streetlight...I don't think this is the issue. I've also tried processing without the Force Bayer/X option yielding the same results. Neutralize Background is also checked.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Jeff
@jhullin Hi Jeff,
You probably can leave the settings of tab 0 to their defaults. APP is very well capable of detecting the Bayer pattern itself.
Having said that, can you post an image showing the issue? Just convert the integration result to a JPEG file and post that here.
And some questions for you. What software do you use to shoot the lights and calibration files? What gain, offset, temperature and exposure time? Do you use a filter (like L-eXtreme) or is this "pure" RGB?
Thanks, Wouter
@jhullin Thanks for the info and the image. Is this taken without any filter, in other words pure RGB? It could be light pollution or perhaps an issue with your calibration files. Do you see the green edge as well when you integrate the lights without any calibration files at all?
@jhullin Well, what happens if you stack with the bias and darks and not the flats?
Hi,
I had some time to do more testing, it appears the issue was with the bias frames. I've created new ones and the issue seems to be resolved. Thanks for your help.
Jeff
