Apr 12 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta41 has been released !
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 has been released which works much better and faster. Improved Outlier Rejection with LN 2.0 rejection. macOS CMD+A works now in file chooser ! And more...
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.
Took this late last year, but only just had a go at processing it, using the new superb TStar processing software, it was stacked in APP with a few tweaks first, then moved to TStar.
3 hours of 2 min subs, no filter, with QHY268c camera, and Esprit 100 scope on my CEM70 mount, from bortle 6-7 skies
Stacked with no darks, flats or bias, just raw subs, as need to do a new dark libraryÂ
That's a lot of signal! Well balanced as well, almost looked a bit high in contrast, but I like it.
Hi Stewart, @astroshedÂ

@mabula-admin thanks very much, better than I thought for such a small integration time
