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.
Were you able to select the comet etc?
@vincent-mod
Yes. Then the comet position was dtected in each frame and then the error occured.
Strange...
I closed APP and tried it again with exactly the same settings. Now it worked. 🤔Â
Interesting, maybe a very specific glitch. A new version will be released soon and it will be more robust by then as well.
Hi @vincent-mod,
I have a large set of very short exposures that cannot be aligned with APP currently, as they contain less than 10 stars per sub and a bright core of a planetary nebula. I wanted to use the comet registration feature to align those cores to get around this problem and ran into the same error message after selecting the comet:
I also remember getting the same error message last week in another case - but I guess I cannot reproduce that one for you again. Has the cause of this problem been identified and will it be addressed in the next beta and do you have any idea, when to expect the second beta?
Best,
Phillip
This is not possible yet with the comet registration. There are some good improvements for star detection though in the upcoming beta, due to the work on comet registration and star reduction, Mabula managed to get that improved as well. So, we have to wait for that release and then try again I think.

I was getting this error message. Switched from OpenGL to CPU, and it seems to have gone away... I'm on an M1 MacBook Air.
Yes it's not perfect indeed in this beta yet. Mabula is improving it and the new release will have some improvements here as well.
