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 am starting a new project and there were several frames above 500 in Quality Score. Â Somewhere in the process this score dropped to where most of the frames are in the mid to high 100's, with only a handful in the 200's.
Would this place any suspicion on my calibration frames or do the Quality Scores naturally drop?
The quality score does change the further you are in processing. The more APP knows about the data, changes in quality scores can occur. Not necessarily something to worry about if the result looks good.
Thank you for your reply.
The results were half way decent but not exceptional. Â It may be that the lights themselves were not exceptional so the calibration frames didn't bring the quality of actual pictures down.
I was just wondering if the ratio of quality score drop was considerable it was an indication that the calibration frames were inferior.
I have observed the quality score dropping every time I've taken pictures, but none this steep. Â As I said, the actual pictures didn't suffer that greatly.
I'm always looking for indicators that give warnings that something is not right.
Mm, well if it changes way more than what you regularly see, it might be that the data is somehow "worse" than before. What the reason for that would be is sometimes difficult to see, do your stars look exactly the same when compared to a frame of a good quality run for instance?
Always good to have a good look at these things for sure, you may catch something earlier or even improve your workflow because of that.
