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.
With a total integration time of about 6 hours, this bi-color image of the Crescent Nebula is almost okay to me. The HOO-2 combination preset made this image look different from my previous HOO-1 version.
Gears: QHY163m, Antlia 3.5nm narrowband filters, Takahashi TSA120

That's an absolute beauty. With different result, do you mean the preset isn't consistent?
Thank you Vincent to remind me of my post was not clear. I need to put a cause 'HOO-1 preset' which I always use. 🤫Â

Oh no worries, just curious. 🙂 Like I said, stunning result, the amount of detail in the OIII part is amazing.
@vincent-mod So, how does the HOO2 algorithm differ from HOO1? Or, SHO2 versus SHO2 for that matter?
You can see this in the tool itself, by looking at the settings for the different channels that change when selecting another algorithm.
