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.
Greetings everyone!
First, congratulations on the Beta release of APP version 2.0.0 beta22. This program has really grown to be a fantastic post-processor!
I'm wondering about the need for a set of Flat frames for each filter that I use in the image train. I use both an Optolong UV/IR cut filter as well as an L-eNhance dual band-pass for imaging with my ZWO color camera. I can easily take multiple stacks of 20 Flats with each filter in the ASIAIR Plus, but I'm unsure of how to load all of those stacks for each filter into the Load tab. Is it necessary to have both filters with their own Master Flats? If so, can APP identify & differentiate them for use with their associated Lights? What must I do to make sure the Flats Calibrate properly?
Thank you for your support,
Kindest regards,
Dale
You assign one filter and its data to session 1 and the other to session 2. I would advice to do this for separate filters as they can show different dust spots and/or illumination. If you shoot dark-flats, these can be assigned to the correct session. As they are very similar to a bias signal, that's usually not critical, but I would do it just in case. Darks are matched to the lights and are not specific to a filter, darks are automatically matched.
Thank you Vincent!
You’re always so hard at work. It is appreciated!
that makes perfect sense to me to use different sessions for different filter data sets that I’ve taken Flats for. I do use Dark-Flats as well instead of Bias frames.
Thank you,
Dale
Thanks for the kind words! 🙂
