APP Beta 39 crashes...

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.

Hi,

while trying to integrate 6.200 already normalized Ha mono frames(57MB each), APP crashes with the error see below.

Subframes are located on a 4TB Nvme with 1.4TB free space. OS is Kubuntu 24.04 LTS, CPU is a Ryzen9, RAM is 64GB DDR5 and 128GB Swap Space.

Integration Mode is drizzle with scale 2.0

What can I do?

Astro Pixel Processor - 2.0.0-beta39
Oracle GraalVM 24.0.1+9.1 - Linux-64-bit

Encountered error in module:
CreateLightsStackTask

Error message:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot load from object array because "<local10>" is null

Cause:
Cannot load from object array because "<local10>" is null
astropixelprocessor@2.0.0-beta39/com.ariesproductions.registration.ac.a(RegistrationTools.java:1696)
astropixelprocessor@2.0.0-beta39/com.ariesproductions.integration.d.a(IntegrateLightsActionListener.java:1766)
astropixelprocessor@2.0.0-beta39/com.ariesproductions.integration.d.doInBackground(IntegrateLightsActionListener.java:1129)
java.desktop/javax.swing.SwingWorker$1.call(Unknown Source)

 

Best,

Ouch, I would probably divide them into smaller stacks and and those stacks afterwards.

I made another attempt: Instead of pre-normalized frames I loaded (6.200) pre-registered frames and normalized and integrated them. Then it worked without errors.

 

Best,

@digitaliz-se : Yes, that's what I'd have done if my second attempt had failed.

Best,

Hi Juergen @neubi,

Thank you very much for reporting this issue. I have opened an issue to investigate this.

Can you confirm that this error also occurs on your data if you load only 100 or 500 pre-normalized frames and only integrate them?

Hi Mabula,

when integrating 249 pre-normalized frames of same size, this error does not occur.

Best,

Juergen

Hi @neubi,

Okay thanks, I will have a good look at the error message and our code now, to see if I can find an explanation 😉

I will get back to you.

Hi Juergen @neubi,

I have found the issue. The issue will occur if you have loaded the pre-normalized frames and the remove the selected reference frame before starting integration. Then this error is thrown. 

I will fix it now for the next release.

Thanks for reporting this.

Mabula
