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 @woldsweather,

Which APP version are you using? Please try the latest version 2.0.0-beta45 if you have not done so already.

If you load an image of your seestar into the image viewer, does it show properly?

How many stars can you count visually in the data?

Is the demosaic/debayer of the colors correct for your seestar data?

I tested recently 2000 seestar subs of another APP user, and the star analysis was no problem.

If you are using very short exposures, maybe in 3) analyse stars, you need to enable the noise reduction function.Did you try that?

@mabula-admin I am using 2.0.0.0 beta 49. A single Seestar frame loads ol and I can see around 20 stars. I don't see any noise function in 3.

Hi Trevor @woldsweather,

Could that be 2.0.0-beta39? Please try 2.0.0-beta45, it has many improvements over beta39.

In 3) analyse stars, there is the function:  cosmic ray / noise reducer, maybe you need to turn it on. Set the Lower-limit area size to at least 10 to start and let me know what happens.

If you load the images in the image viewer of APP:

Do the images look okay in terms of noise/color?

Is your Seestar firmware up-to-date?

Can you upload some of your Seestar frames here:

https://upload.astropixelprocessor.com/

username: uploadData

password: uploadTestData

 

Please make a folder with your name and issue like:  Trevor-Seestar-Issues

And upload the data there and let me know once done, then I will have a look to see why it is not working.

Thanks, Mabula

Hi Trevor, @woldsweather

Thank you very much for the upload, we have received it in good order and we will test the data and try to improve it. I have opened a separate issue on my list for seestar processing.
