Good news, half of the beta team has tested already ! And everything is going very well 😉

2 things to adjust:

1) I’ll remove the expiry data from the activation form, since it’s value is redundant. APP checks the database and disregards the entry.

2) If you mess with the license file, APP won’t start, a new activation can only be started then…[Read more]

Thank you @supernov 😉 !

Yes, it’s clear that the download section is not 100% obvious to everyone, I’ll try to improve there 😉

Allright, working here as well on OSX both with and without Internet. Nice!

Just a minor thing; wouldn’t it be nice to have OS icons on the downloads page, also for customers? That way you can’t really miss which version you need.

Thanks @mth75!

Indeed the expiry date entry field is redundant, because APP disregards the entry and checks the expiry in the database. I’ll remove it then from the activation window 😉

Thanks, didn’t realise yet I can just leave it out ;-)!

Thank you @keesscherer !

Ok! Tested on my iMac and Win10 VMWare Fusion machine on my Macbook, both with and without internet connection.

Regarding:

So if you enter a wrong license expiry date in the license activation window, the expiry date of the license will still be shown correctly.

This field is redundant from the user point of view? Skip (entry of) the whole…[Read more]

OK! Tested APP 1.047-beta 64 bit DEB package on 2 computers. Entered Licence info and APP starts with and without internet connection.

Added, a new Sara Wager tutorial video & @bula video:

Creating a mosaic easily in APP

Calibration & Integration of Hα data

Great, dependencies Mac address and internet connection was not the best user experience

Great tutorials! Thanks for taking the time to create these so we can get the most out of the APP application!

Good decision!

Both are send and 1 PI stack (the original of last year 🙂 ).

I’ll send you the links in a few minutes (after slow upload). Maybe we should continue this discussion on your forum?

Okay, but in this case we have no comparison so that’s even harder for me to give a reaction to.

Just send me both linear integrations of the NGC7000 data ?

I’ll normalize both stacks and will then have a good look.

Mabula

Mabula, I just noticed it (before).

To make comparison somewhat easier, this is the M31 image (crop) processed by you … and of course, i’m pixel peeping … if I enlarge the image I can see square “centroids”. I’m more interested in the cause (and hence solution) then anything else …

Marc,

I wouldn’t think so, according to my documentation, AAD will give rounder stars and beter colors then VNG, or AHD debayer. (and have tested this frequently)

Especially VNG debayer (PI) will make square stars, 45 degrees rotated.

And I don’t think that the two images that you show aren’t a fair comparison. You need to show the data…[Read more]
