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.
A video on YT mentions a way of stacking a comet with stars and getting no trailing from the comet or the stars? Is this possible without clicking on every image (on the nucleus)?
Dear Trevor,
I am not sure to what video you refer to. Currently, APP does not yet provide a come stack withour sharp stars and a sharp comet out-of-the-box. We do have this on our ToDo list though.
If APP asks you to select the comet nucleus in each image, it means it is a very weak comet (or your exposure time is rather short). On brighter comets, APP will only ask you this in the 1st and last image.
Mabula
Other reasons for APP to ask the comet nucleus in each image can be:
- The data for each sub is rather noisy
- Or the time intervals between exposures is a bit too long, normally the exposures are directly shot after each other, maybe you have delays between each exposure?
It could be that your data is simply close to the threshold for detection in the current comet detection algorithm. I will try to work in this in the coming days actually.
Mabula
Now uploaded Mabula.
@mabula-admin is there a procedure I can reference for comet stacking? Not sure if there is a load parameter that is specific for comets or later in the processing chain. I don't see an option for clicking the comet's nucleus.
Thanks
