Subject: Astro IIDC for Micoroscopist

Hi,

I am Katsushige Yamashiro, pathologist, in Sapporo, Japan.

I have a good time to read your discussions about astronomical image, Astro IIDC and Mac. We have comfortably used Mac, Astro IIDC and Scorpion, PGR (Canada) for microscopic observation. We have examined Astro IIDC version 3.0 for months and now described our own experiences on the internet. If you feel interested in microscopic use, please read our file. We hope you tell your friends who follow the microscope or medicine.

With best wishes,

Hi folks;

A hopefully final version of Astro IIDC 3.01.00 is available at:

http://www.outcastsoft.com/Astro_IIDC_Installer30100.dmg

This is the full installer, including bayer codec, Apple script, read

me first notes and fully documented application. I'm working on

updating the web site and hope to do the official public release on

November 30th or December 1st. So if you find bugs between now and

December 1st, let me know soonest so I can fix them.

Also I fixed one issue yesterday that became apparent from Raye and

Walter's discussion of manipulating color channels of stacked mono

images. Astro IIDC will now deliver mono 16 Tiffs out if the video

source it's stacking is a Mono 8 bit or Mono 16 bit movie. So not only

will the files be 1/3 the size, they will also only have one channel

which should make extracting and aligning them in PhotoShop or other

applications easier.

Thanks in advance..
