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.

I'd like to tighten up a bit, but this was one of th e better integrations using star shape as method. Removed most of the fuzzies Subs and can resolve the little Central triple. This was blurred when I used the bad sub-scores.

Excellent Greg,
Yes, If you have some frames with worse tracking, the star shape weights in integration will help a lot in still getting round and tight stars in your integration.
The bad frames can still contribute to reducing noise in your sky background if you keep them in your integration though ;-), only remove the frames that are very bad I would recommend if you use star shape weights.
