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 am rather confused about how APP ranks light frames in a batch. Here is an example sorted on quality score:
First half is 60 second frames. These are taken without filter.
Second half is 180 second frames. These are taken with a quad band filter. These have higher star count and much lower FWHM.
This is the best 60 second frame:
This is the best 180 second frame:
What I find strange is that APP ranks all 60 seconds frames superior to the 180 second frames. And I just can't understand why.
I don't understand all the values presented, so the answer is probably there somewhere, but to me it does not make sense right now looking at them.
