Astro Party is a carefully curated deep dive into Astro, designed for ramping up busy professional devs on what makes Astro special and how to take full advantage of its features in as little as a few hours. Go from zero to productive fast so you can join the party!
It's a popup design 4 person tent, which apparently only takes 2 minutes to pitch - all fine and good- but it has a "sunroof" in the bedroom... Or to put it another way, about 1m by 1.5m of the roof zips open. Now I thought to myself, wouldn't that be handy at an astro party.
If anyone attended SGL this year, they might steer clear of cheep tents fir astro parties.... Variously through my stay (only 2 nights) we had Sun, snow, lots of rain, ice, locusts, pestilence etc. - Okay I lied about the sun!
Where our parties used to only be supervised for the main activity section we are now ensuring that every party will have their own party coordinator for the full 2-hour duration! This means our already amazing parties have just gotten better!

I have an Avalon StarGO2 controller, which is only fully supported via the AvalonUD (3rd party INDI) driver. It is not available on the ASIAIR. There is a poor LX200 workaround, which does not support guiding.
By chance, I recently saw the new Touptek AstroStation during an unrelated trip to Shanghai. It runs on INDI 2.0.5 and has the 3rd part INDI drivers preinstalled, including the AvalonUD drivers. I would very much appreciate, if the ASIair could provide the same drivers.
The StarGO2 Pro is a recent development and does not have a serial port. It is based on a RaspberryPi4, which runs an INDI server and INDI drivers. There is a remote driver that is part of the iNDI 3rd party drivers, called AvalonUD.
Let me say that this is probably a noob question but this is exactly what I am. I am slowly but surely getting to understand APP up to the integration part. Where my inexperience and knowledge is failing, is to figure out what can be done with the RGB mixing tool. Especially with narrowband images. When I look at some of Sara Wager's images it is astonishing what she is doing. e.g. this one -carousel-1081. She states that she used Photoshop for post processing, My question how much of this was done, especially the amazing colours, in APP vs Photoshop?
For some feedback, I have APP, PS and LR that I use. After APP, there is very little to do. I first take the integration into lightroom for Clarity, Dehaze and any residual vignetting (the vignetting tool in APP only works if you dont use flats). Then into photoshop to calm levels a bit. You could probably get by with APP and free GIMP (though I'm not Gimp savy).
Thank you for your response. If I may ask, where do you do your RGB and narowband channel combining? I think this is where I am stuck as I do not understand how to get the narrowband colours to appear in the colours I would like them to appear. e.g. the colours (browns/sand and blues) that Sara and others are getting. Are they getting this right in APP and then do final touches (sharpening, calming, contrasts etc) in LR and PS or are they mixing channels outside of APP after integration and registering channels? I fully acknowledge that this could be because I really have no clue how to do colour mixing other what than was taught at primary school. So to sum up my question. With what APP, excuse the pun, should I learn how to do colour mixing? APP or PS?
Before you combine them load up the rgb and the narrow band in the regular lights list under 1) load. Then calibrate them with each, other register them with each other, and save the registered frames. These are what you use when you combine RGB.
If you mean to comine hydrogen Alpha, O3, etc..and RGB, that is under 9) tools RGB combine. First load up your RGB image assigning it to R,G,B as you are prompted. Then load your NB frame, it will recognize it as custom and you'll have the option to select hydrogen Alpha.Beta, etc.. The NB integration will show up at the bottom of the list and you need to sign it 100% to red (which actually gives it 50) that's where to get started. Maybe tweak the upper slider to 2x, then 3x. and calculating.
I have been using APP for just about a month and came to the realization that it covers mostly the calibration and integration side of processing, with a bit of post-integration. It could be my limited experience, but I am unable to take the processing further in APP, and steps like noise reduction, local enhancements and some levels of color enhancements may be handled outside APP. I tried making enhancements using saturation/contrast/sharpness or HSL selective color tool only to wish I had a better understanding of pixel values in various parts of the image. Using tools like Nebulosity, FitsLiberator (and lately, PI) for inspection of pixel values or stats across the image did not make me feel I'm using the right tool for these steps. Nothing wrong with using multiple tools, but this made me rethink the process and tools to use.
He is loading registered and normalized channels into the RGB combine tool. The normalization will help greatly in getting a good start with colors in the RGB combine tool. For narrowband data especially, the normalization helps greatly.
The initial focus in development was in the basics as you can understand. First get everything top notch with regards to calibration to integration.... then expand on post-processing, which now will get more focus.
Thank you for your response Mabula. Let me first say , as a software developer myself, it is amazing how much APP has "grown" in less than a year and secondly, as being very new, also less than a year, in Astro photography, how easy it is to use APP to produce amazing results without all the technical "know how". So there is only appreciation for what you are doing from my side.
I am currently only using Rawtherapee for final touches and also really only very basic exposure functions ( ) Including black, lightness, contrast etc. It may also be good to see/ask what other people are using 3rd party apps for to tweak APP results as this should be a good indication what needs to be included "to make APP as complete as possible"
On the image analysis side, it would be wonderful to have tools to evaluate "flatness/curvature" of images, possible collimation problems etc similar to what is available in CCDinspector. My gut feeling is that a lot of the maths are already in APP. It just needs to be turned into tools.
I have several things on my list with regards to post-processing, like noise reduction, deconvolution, color preserving stretching. Step by step more will be added to APP and current tools/feautures will be further improved/optimized as we go along ?

Astronomy math is VERY hard, but the science itself is pretty simple when compared to biology, geology, etc. Once you exclude Earth, there's only 42 things left to learn about before you can understand the rest of the known Universe. Join Kevin "The Dark Ranger" Poe to get a semester's worth of astronomy from this single show.
