Hi Guys
A demonstration of the power of the newly released Astroart 5 !
I'd read about improvements over version 4 and thought well, "I'll believe It when I see It" a couple of the things I was really interested in was the better memory and alignment and stacking routines.
Another nice feature added is the ability to reject bad pixels with a specified star elongation or FWHM.
A couple of Sigma(average)or(Add) have been added and in the auto alignment routine the option to choose "Star Pattern"(Translation + Rotation)is extremely powerful.....never seems to fail.
This image of NGC 6723 is a stack of 58 x 10 minute exposures and each color Synthesized sub exposure was a 32 bit 69.9 meg file!
This makes Astroart 5 memory more powerful than any other programed I've used to date...and I've used quite a few.
Worth checking out the demo !
