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.
I have a question regarding channel weight settings when combining Ha/OIII/SII (SHO) using APP's RGB combination tool. Every time I use the default settings for each channel, my Ha greens are blown out and OIII and SII don't look real good either. So, my question is: what have people found to be alternative channel weight settings other than APP's defaults. It's very tedious, time consuming and somewhat frustrating to have to do trial and error on all the various channel sliders to produce a satisfactory image. I realize that the answer is dependent on the target and other factors so I'm just looking for examples of what other people have used that produce good results. Hopefully, this topic will be covered in the new manual, whenever it is released. Â
@tsa120man That is a very good question to which I, unfortunately, do not know an answer. I hope other APP users will chime in.
