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.

Hi Tony @ddnum,
Thank you very much for your feedback.
1) Okay, you are totally right, it is nucleus, I have already corrected it in APP and the release notes.
2) Looks like there is a problem with your comet data set, can you share the data so I can test it and fix it? Probably, only a couple of light frames is enough to solve the issue.
You can upload it here:

Keeping the best frames solved the problem. For us in the south the Neowise comet was low down in the murk and quite dim. I had to manually point out the nucleus in most frames. In the end the image wasn't much more than a nucleus with a slight hint of a tail.

Cheers

hi,
stacked as test 31 files of a Nikon D810a of Neowise, 1 min each with 135mm, worked fine like in Mabula's tutorial
