In praise of 1.4

[midwayexpress]

This is the M27 I took last night. It was really windy so I ended up with only 74 of 93 1 minute exposures even being close to acceptable. Needless to say I was shocked at how fantastic the result came out.

With the exception of the broken reveal algorithm 1.4.302 is stable and wipe and color are producing MUCH better results than in 1.3 with my OSC Atik 490. The big difference between 1.3 and 1.4 wipe on this image is that 1.3 leaves about half too green and half too blue (dependent on light pollution). The color module also was able calibrate without capping green.

Some cracking images!
Good to hear the alpha improvements are working out for you so far.

PS You can get (improved) HDR Reveal algorithms to work by bumping up the Strength parameter - I'm not happy with this parameter as it's there for the Reveal algorithm only. Not sure what to do with it yet...
