Re: M42 Astro Pixel Processor 5 session stack

Cheers Dave, I'm constantly evolving my thinking of how to optimize dual-shot astrophotography with mono/osc cameras and have some exciting new ideas I'll be sharing results with hopefully soon. The above work of yours is very intriguing indeed and I'll surely be taking a closer look.

Thanks :)

Re: M35 + NGC 2158 using a noisy CCD camera

Brian, sorry if I appear daft, but I 'm not sure I can find APP that launches in a web browser. I think APP is for astro pixel processor, but then again, I can't find any web browser ability...I found this:https://freestar8n.shinyapps.io/StackSNR/ but again not sure to what you're referring to.
