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.
Hi there!
Â
I am hoping someone can help me find the best way to do this 🙂  I have taken RGB images of the Pleiades (filterless) with both my hyperstar on an 8" edge HD with an asi294 mc pro AND a canon Ra on a sharpstar 61.  I am combining them nicely using this great tutorial: https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/registration-normalization-integration-using-ddc-lnc-mbb/  here.
Â
I ALSO took some data on the hyperstar with an IDAS NBZ that I would like to add to the mix to create an RGBHOO image. Â I have done this well before JUST using the hyperstar data, but am unsure how to do this now that my RGB will be a VERY different image size (as it is the Ra and hyperstar data mixed) than the Ha-OIII data from the hyperstar.
Â
SO.... what I am asking is, how can I do this so APP understands how to put the H and OII data in the right place? Â Do I FIRST create an RGB of the RGB material (Ra and hyperstar) and separately extract Ha and Oiii of the IDAS data... will APP know where that fits when I click on the COMBINE RGB tool? Â Do I need to do something else first?
Â
I hope this makes sense! Â Thank you!
@luckybudd Hi!
You want to process the RGB and IDAS images separately because for the IDAS images you want to select Ha-OIII extract Ha and then Ha-OIII extract OIII.
Once you have the integrated RGB image (combining both focal lengths) and the separate Ha and OIII images, you can load all three as lights (no calibration files), go to tab 5 and normalize them. This will also register the images to each other. Then save the registered images.
The resulting registered images can then be loaded in the Combine RGB tool to create the RGBHOO image.Â
HTH, Wouter
Brilliant! Â Thank you!
So, if I understand correctly:Â
1. Integrate the RGB files. Â Set aside the stacked RGB file.
2. Reopen APP and load the IDAS data, creating both an extracted HA and OIII file.
3. Reopen APP and load ONLY the completed 3 files as LIGHTS (the RGB, HA and OIII) and normalize them (don't integrate). Â Are there any special settings I need to do at this point, or leave everything as default? Â Then save the new register images (is this in tab 4?)
4. go to combine tool and select RGBHOO like normal.
Thank you Wouter! Â Very helpful!
Â
@luckybudd That's correct but no need to restart APP. In tab 1 you can clear all loaded files and then load the ones you want to integrate.Â
Ahhh! Â Merci!!
