May 27 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta45 has been released !
Fully Multi-Threaded LNC, many improvements for the registration engine, platform upgrade, and further tuning of internal memory consumption and memory release back to OS.
Apr 14 2026: Google Pay, Apple Pay & WeChat Pay added as payment options
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.
Hello,
sorry but this is a mixed (APP & PI) topic...
in order to remove banding artefacts of my Canon 6D I proceeded as follows:
- In APP I did all the main processing (MB, MF, MDF, MD...Integration)
- In Pixinsight I did the 90° rotation + CanonbandingReduction + 90° derotation of the LightFrames + MB, MF, MDF, MD:
- 1. process PI: Fast Rotation 90 deg. clockwise, extension: FITS
- 2. process PI: CBR with default settings
- 3. process PI: Rotation 90 deg. counterclockwise
Then I processed all those Frames in APP: the resulting Integration is gray.
I checked "CFA" + RGGB in APP
My first integration (without Rot / CBR / Derot) in APP was as expected: colour but banding
the corrected frames (after Rot / CBR / Derot) do all have colour.
Any ideas?
thanks, Peter
@peter-s Hi Peter,
Have you tried loading the integrated (and therefore color) image into PI and remove the Canon banding from that image? Touching the raw data usually is a recipe for trouble.
HTH, Wouter
Hi Wouter,
thank you - no, not until now; I wanted to try with a "clean stack".. and my impression was that the caibration frames, especially the Master Bias induced the most of the banding.
I´ll try the banding reduction a) with the L integration, calibrated by the untreated calibration master files
and b) with with the L integration, calibrated by banding corrected calibration master files
as I am not the only one using a Canon camera = the CanonBandingReduction I´d be interested how do others proceed...
Peter
@peter-s Hi Peter,
Try only option a please. Option b will fail. Once more, don't modify raw data. Any raw data.
Wouter
