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.

M42 15x120s 30x60s 30x30s 50x10s 50x4s

Captured December 2019.

Equipment: Celestron AVX mount, Altair 66ED refractor, 0.8x reducer, Altair 183C camera.

Software: SharpCap 3.2, FITS Liberator, APP, GIMP 2.10.

15x120s, 30x60s, 30x30s, 50x10s, 50x4s

20 darks, 100 bias, 100 flats for each exposure set.

I had been experimenting with HDR techniques using FOTOXX on Linux.  As an experiment, I loaded the multi exposures into APP as a multi-session and here is the result.
