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.
This image shows the Rho Ophiuchi region rising over Mt Warning in New South Wales, Australia. It is a true representation of what the sky looked like at 6:35 pm with the sky carefully placed relative to the foreground.
I created this using a dual camera arrangement that I commonly use for such images - A CentralDS modified Canon 6D and Sigma 85mm At F/1.4 lens at F/3.2 alongside a ZWO ASI 294MC-Pro with Sigma 50mm Art F/1.4 at F/3.2. For the Canon I took 70 x 60 second exposures and for the ASI294 35 x 2 minutes. I only used about 2/3rds of the images for processing as the first were too affected by light pollution and the last ones by a layer of fog that came through. The foreground was 6 x 30 seconds, ISO 800 stacked in Photoshop for noise reduction.
I used APP for the sky processing and it easily blended the two slightly different Fields of View using LNC and MBB

That is truly amazing indeed, wonderful combination!
