Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.

Interesting artifact is best seen when sequencing through darks. There are two types of hot pixels, those that are constantly turned on and those that come and go over time. I tried lowering the kappa used for BPM to no avail. The solution was to check the box for "cosmetic correction of hot pixels" using the default kappa value.
Just wondering if my solution is recommended or if there is something better?
APP 1.075

And you are using sigma clipping? If it's randomized between subs that should already work. Otherwise if your solution works... great! 🙂
Sigma clipping on the darks? No because I only have 25 darks. Somewhere in the video tutorials I was advised to use sigma clipping only if I have 100 or more. For that reason I use sigma clipping on bias only.

Ah ok, sorry, I missed this to be in the darks. No then your solution is indeed the correct one.
