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.

Hello,

Upon completing the stack APP loads this image into the viewer.  Even if I select another image and then reselect the one in question.

When I open the Fits file in Pixinsight it displays correctly.  The main issue is that I can't use the tools for background calibration etc. 

Just so you know,

Andy

Could you test this with beta 6 that we have available now? See the top of the forum, if it still doesn't work I may ask you for some of your data to check.

Hello,

I continue to see the same display of the final stack as shows above.  Also, now in Beta 6 I also cannot display some images.  I have attached the error message.

 This image is from a different computer with same display issue. It is also running beta 6

Thanks for testing. Would you mind uploading a few of these files for us to check? Maybe also some lights and calibration masters so we can see what might be the issue.

Hi,

UPDATE - Today I tried the same data and did NOT drizzle.  The final stack displayed correctly.

Just so you know!

Thanks for the update! Sorry, didn't have time yet to analyze but will do so today, so drizzling may have been the problem here. Did you have data that is undersampled and did you dither well during capturing the data?

Hi Andy @andynowlen,

That weird image display is in fact an OpenGL issue... If you turn of OpenGL with the top left OpenGL button, the image will display correctly 😉

The reason for the OpenGL issue, will likely be a bad OpenGL graphical driver installed on your computer, so try to update your graphical driver using a driver from the hardware manufacturer of your graphical chip (so don't !!! use a microsoft driver for an intel graphical chip for instance).
