It has a major performance boost of 30-50% over 2.0.0-beta39 from calibration to integration, for mosaics even faster! 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. Improved Outlier Rejection with LN 2.0 rejection. macOS CMD+A works now in file chooser ! And more, all will be added to the release notes in the coming hours...
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.
Well, feedback you say... awesome!? 🙂 Really nice result, if anything I might be interested to see what happens if you bring up the background a little bit more.
No the opposite, so bringing up the background a little. No idea if that makes it look nicer, I'm just the kind of guy that doesn't mind a little bit of noise to be visible, if it brings up some fainter dust. Noise is always part of the data anyway. 🙂 But, it's an amazing result, just curious.
I agree with Vincent @vincent-mod, just make the background a little bit lighter, between Barnard's Loop and the Horse Head Nebula there is a lot of brown dust, maybe you can make that a bit more pronounced?
Great work and great results for only 100 minutes of exposure time 🙂
