Thanks for the update, admin indeed, the speed works good, thank you for brining back some controls. Althought the mask leaves out some big stars that are impossible to get rid of the ringing effect. What Still like from 1,8 SVD is the ability to change sample size, that can have a big impact depend...

Yeah Carles, the new SVD and deringing regime can be a bit finicky, dare I say tempermental? ;) Your shadowing is really shifted though, which kind of points towards a bad sample. Were you loading PSF's at all? I actually ran across that little snafu tonight after a restack that was very very simil...

but in some bright stars creats this artifact Hi Carles, this looks a bit like the artefacts we discussed a few days or weeks ago: https://forum.startools.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2821&p=14291&hilit=centroid#p14291 (There have been some more posts regarding this issue in the "StarTools 1.9 preview" ...

admin Thanks Ivo, indeed the new 1,9 decon did get my datasets stars :) both from the old QHY8L and the planetary camera also. It gets a bit slower than previous though specially when showing the selected mask and beetween selecting the samples. But result seems good but in some bright stars creats...

Ok here's a weird one. If you enter Wipe with a custom mask already set, everything goes kaboom. :shock: Seems fine if you create the mask once in Wipe, though. Does that still happen in this version? https://download.startools.org/StarTools_1_9_549_1_alpha.zip Many processes seem faster, but still...

Many processes seem faster, but still, I'd like some more flexibility on Decon module. For my datasets, 1.9 decon grabs only noise, no stars.
So for now I'll stick to 1,8.

Um, gracias, and, danke schon.

I would've managed Dutch, but if it weren't for @hixx and @Carles "gracias" and "danke schön" would've indeed been my entire contribution to the Spanish and German translation too.

Awesome! "no hay de qué!"

another thing I found,
artifacts on Entropy module, as seen in the screenshot.
with the same file it doesn't occur on 1.8 version. regards

Same here, Decon mask doesn't get the stars as well as 1.8
Here's comparision with same file.

1.8 1.9 Cs

Sounds great, @admin !

Sorry I am a little behind on the Spanish translastion, been busier lately!

Nice set of improvements there, specially offloading more work to GPU seems interesting too

Clear skies!
