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.
Hey guys. I have an issue, not sure to resolve. I'm trying to combine a dual band filter with OSC and having issues. Here is my work flow.
Ha- OIII - extract Ha
Ha-OIII extract OIII
Save off files, Restart APP
OSC process as normal
Save off file, Restart APP
Load OSC fits and calibrate to split into R,G,B channels
Restart APP
Load Ha, OIII, R,G,B files and Register and normalize,Â
Save off files
Restart APP load the 5 files and go to Combine RGB - Here lies the issue. For some reason, I consistently get a BLUE image or in some cases a RED image and the sliders give worse results. I've tried just running HaRGB and still get same effect. If I run the Ha OIII files separately in Combine RGB, image is fine. If I run the RGB files individually in Combine, everything is fine as well.Â
I found a thread that says getting BLUE or RED or GREEN images is because there is an issue with mapping somewhere. I've fiddled around with all the sliders and always get the same thing. It seems that when it goes south is when I try to Register and Normalize the 5 files, then try to Combine in RGB. Otherwise, if I run just run the OSC data as a stand alone FITS and Run the Ha and OIII separate, it seems to work fine.
Hi Conrad.
Though it's a long time ago (I do stretching and channel combination now in PixInsight), I kind of remember that you have to activate "neutralize-BG" - in the right, the 2nd row below the histogram.
Best regards.
