Hi Han. I am working on the mac here. I was about to do my next step in this video series but for some reason I cannot get ASTAP to sync dark files?
I attached some examples here. I have two master darks 300s 139g and -10 and -20c respectively. Then some H and O light subs with variouse temperatures of -10c and -20c. Take a look if you can and let me know if there is something I am missing that keeps it from using them to calibrate the light frames. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hefssu7s929x32v/AAAajHjMzBgMzwlspoByGlWOa?dl=0
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The dark with -10C temperature is ignored because the EGAIN is 4.960. The ZWO GAIN is 139 so I think it is save to change the gain in the header from 4.960 to 1.001. This dark is a little older so I assume the ZWO software has been updated since.
p.s. In the latest ASTAP I bypassed an old Mac problem failing to display coloured icons for the colour filters. A fix for the compiler is not expected due to limitation in the Mac operating system. For the Mac version I have now used coloured unicode symbols. I little tricky but it works. Only the green indication is a green apple since a green circle was not available in the Mac before 2019. Does it work for you?
The colour icons used are these. They are visible in SourceForge but maybe not in your email program.
Can you test if the following green circle is visible if you copy it to a text processor in the Mac? If so I probably better replace the green apple by this green circle.

Since I'm adding unicode, so text to the list it disturbs the text comparison of the filter names. So for the Mac I have placed them in column "type" (instead of the filter column) where the do not interfere in the stacking selection process.
Seams like it working a lot better now. I like the new thumbs down emoji for rejected frames. Makes it pretty self explanitory. Looks like ill have an HOO video done soon and up for all to see. Last video I did started slow but has been gaining speed with veiwers.

I was able to copy past the 🟢 into my mail app. I am on OS10.15.7
Ill give the change in gain to 1.001 a try.

Thanks for promoting it! :)
