Deconvolution is no longer as strong as it used to be when I apply it on the moon and sun. Even of I det the radius setting very high it still is weaker.

I think I sussed out why I was having trouble getting colours to pop originally and I think this was because I was using stars to colour balance , I’m assuming the Nb channel may effect colour balance Ivo , not balancing stars seems the effect seems to work better , would that make sense to you Ivo .
Re: [WANTED] 1.8 alpha test subjects!
Hmmm... That doesn't sound right - decon should yield better results than 1.7 even for planetary, solar and lunar datasets. Would you be able to show an example as well as provide the settings used?Astroscapist wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 5:16 am Deconvolution is no longer as strong as it used to be when I apply it on the moon and sun.

You should see more detail, less noise, less ringing. However you may have to significantly increase the amount of iterations. And, of course, make sure that you are deconvolving linear data (e.g. if you used a video source, check that the dataset was not stretched, else undo the stretch upon import).

Re: [WANTED] 1.8 alpha test subjects!
To be clear, the NBAccent module should be applied after the Color module... Is that indeed what you are doing?Burly wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 5:33 am I think I sussed out why I was having trouble getting colours to pop originally and I think this was because I was using stars to colour balance , I’m assuming the Nb channel may effect colour balance Ivo , not balancing stars seems the effect seems to work better , would that make sense to you Ivo .

Yes Ivo maybe it’s me but last night I was practicing on m33 data , I struggled with making red pop if I sampled stars I then redone without balancing and it seemed to pop , did you sample stars when you done it , I will redo and save image with and without sampling and send logs if it fails to pop the red channel .admin wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 8:12 amTo be clear, the NBAccent module should be applied after the Color module...

Update - ignore above ivo all seems fine ivo working in both modes .

Re: [WANTED] 1.8 alpha test subjects!
I have been sending detailed reports to Ivo by email, but I just wanted to let the community know that I haven't had any issues running 1.8 on my iMac (OS 11.4) or my M1 laptop. Yay!

Re: [WANTED] 1.8 alpha test subjects!
New version available; just change the 3 into 4 in the previous download link you were sent 
Documentation was updated accordingly.
Thank you all - I feel like I'm developing with a team of 25!
- Fixed crashes in SVDecon module
- Further tweaks to Denoise module
- Improved SVDecon module UI
- Tweaked SVDecon PSF spatial variance modelling algorithm
Documentation was updated accordingly.

Re: [WANTED] 1.8 alpha test subjects!
I just want to say that the SVDcon module is plain and simply brilliant, on both by iMac and M1 laptop. To the extent that a little noise is added, it is easily removed in DeNoise. Thank you, Ivo!

Re: [WANTED] 1.8 alpha test subjects!
I don't think this should go here, but I'm willing to be a tester. Perhaps that's a good thing because I had a stroke several years ago, and am no longer the brightest bulb on the tree. If I can make it run, anyone can.
BUT
I have a new machine, ordered with a GPU but I can't get the Linux 64 GPU executable to load. It becomes greyed out and just sits there.
The GPU is a 12 GB GeForce RTX 3060 with 3584 CUDA Cores. Any idea why it won't load? Is it not supported? Inquiring minds want to know so I can send it back if it won't run StarTools, that was the only reason I ordered a GPU.
Ivo HELP!
