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.
So I've never run into this issue before but recently every time i get to the final step of integration the generated file can't be opened without the app crashing. I've tried the following:
-restarted
-stepped through the entire process multiple times.
-Tried just loading the generated integration file into the project
The same thing happens everytime. I double click to open the integration file and the progress bar gets 75% of the way and then it just crashes. No error or anything.
Mac version: Catalina 10.15.7
APP verison: 1.082
If anyone knows of any fixes or workarounds I really just want view the final integrated .fits file and do the light pollution removal and calibrate star colors.
Thanks in advance
