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. Â Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
I'm a novice, and just purchased APP and first use was with some NEOWISE images that IMHO came out nicely but for the vignetting & LP correction.
There's a post on combining RGB with Ha & OIII data using an Optolong L-eNhance.
Questions?
- I'm using an ASI183MM Pro with RGB&L filters plus L-eNhance filter (filter set in slot 5). Â Using the same approach as described in the tutorial, should I be taking subs with the RGB&L (combining these) and then use the L-eNhance subs in lieu of the Ha & OIII data?
- Or, should I just use the L-eNhance as my luminance data, and collect/combine the RGB as described in the tutorial?
- I've also got a L-pro filter - would there be any advantage to use this as my luminance filter, and use the L-eNhance as my proxy for the Ha & OIII?
Sadly, my location is in a Bortle 5/6 (have a delightful sodium street light) that really compromises my imaging toward the SW. Â The L-eNhance has been a real blessing but can't fix everything.
Unrelated, but here's my novice attempt to capture NEOWISE, and processed with APP - no flats, darks, or bias. Â Next session will capture these to improve the integration but still working on how to do these with the HyperStar.
thanks, Jim
