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.
Is it possible to create a final stack with differing sub times and iso (having all cal frames for each sub set)? I.e. 2 integrations sets combined in the end into one image? I've got a feeling different times are ok, but iso won't mont mix.
Yes, one can! As a test I ran m45 subs from 2 nights, one set at ISO 1600@30 sec and the other set ISO 800 @ 60 seconds. Together they made up to 11,010 seconds, or ~3hr. little post in Lightroom and PS. I used the Batch modify tool to crop the best parts of the mosaic looking Integration so as not to have to do any work on that part.

And overprocessed with 12480 sec.
Trying to integrate 1,098 subs right now. 20, 30, 45 and 60 sec at iso 800 and 1600. APP is handling the task well, surprisingly well.

Hi Greg,
Yes, as you found out already, it's certainly possible.
One tip, if you combine data of different iso values and exposure times, it can be beneficial to change the normalization mode in 5) to multiply-scale instead of add-scale 😉
Kind regards,
