Mar 28 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta40 will be released in 7 days.
It did take a long time to have the work finished on this and it will have a major performance boost of 30-50% over 2.0.0-beta39 from calibration to integration. We extensively optimized many critical parts of APP. All has been tested to guarantee correct optimizations. Drizzle and image resampling is much faster for instance, those modules have been completely rewritten. Much less memory usage. LNC 2.0 will be released which works much better and faster than LNC in it's current state. And more, all will be added to the release notes in the coming weeks...
Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
Hello all,
Â
I'm an absolut beginner with APP and have a question how to find the correct and best working settings for the Omegon veTEC 16000 C cam.Â
The cam uses a CMOS Chip (Panasonic MN34230). Are there other user around using this cam or a cam with the same CMOS Chip?
Thank you very much for your support.
Regards
Zav
In principle there shouldn't be special settings, unless APP is not able to see the mosaic pattern itself (in that case you need to manually force it to do that). Make sure to use darkflats for flats with exposure times of around 1-2 seconds, bias also with exposure times of about 0.5 seconds.
@vincent-mod
Thank you. I thought I have to use flats with exposure time exactly as the exposure time of the light frames?
Hi, sorry for the delay. No, flats simply need to have a proper exposure, not clipping the histogram on the left or right. You do need dark-flats (it's like a bias, but with exposure set to that of the flats).
