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.
I would like to have someone look at my data to see what I should do next. I would like to upload the data for someone to look at it.
Could you point to what data you're talking about and what the question is?
@vincent-mod yes, is it possible to upload here directly or do I need to upload it somewhere else and point you to it?
You can see where to upload on the top right of the forum, make a directory on the server called "msamazing-data" and please describe what the issue is as I'm not seeing it here in this thread, thanks.
@vincent-mod I just updated so hopefully I did it correctly. I am new to astrophotography and wondered what steps you would not take with my data processing where it is now.
Will check the data first, please allow for tomorrow as it's quite late here already. 🙂 Thanks for uploading!
@vincent-mod thank you! No rush.
So, could you also explain what exactly you'd like to do next? What's th question you have basically?
@vincent-mod I am very new to astrophotography and don't really have a trained eye. I guess what I am asking is when someone that has been doing this a long time looks at my image, is there anything that would make it better? Maybe it is fine as it is. I am really just trying to learn if there is any way that I should improve it.
Ah, got it. So looking at your data, it's actually looking really good already! Impressive for someone who's just beginning even. You may be able to even the background out a bit more using the Light Pollution tool, but other than that, just gather more data to get more signal etc and you'll be fine. This result is already really nice.
