16 November 2020 - Wouter van Reeven has officially joined the Astro Pixel Processor Team as a moderator on our forum, welcome Wouter 🙂 !
31 July 2020 - Comet Registration video tutorial using APP 1.083-beta1 released.
30 July 2020 - APP 1.083-beta1 has been released introducing Comet processing! This 1st beta has comet registration. The stable release will also include special comet integration modes.
I am very new to the hobby, so please forgive my naive question. Many of my images have only a dozen or so stars in them. I get the message "Registration failed! Please lower the 'detect above noise level' kappa value in menu 3) ANALYSE STARS." I cannot find this setting anywhere. In the Analyse Stars tab there is only "star detection automatic #stars target." I have made much progress, but obviously I still have a lot to learn. Some guidance would be much appreciated.
Ah, that might be an old pop-up then. What version of APP are you using?
Version 1.082
Could you please try the beta1 version 1.083 and try again?
Thank you. I tried with images of a different target and had success. I think the problem was bad data. I am still learning how to guide properly and capture good data. I do want to thank you for this software - I tried many others and had zero success. Using your software, I am finally producing images! I will persevere and keep learning.
Thanks for that, hope you keep on liking it! Always happy to help when you need more advice.
