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.

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.
The ASI183MC (like many) has a fair amount of amp glow that shows in the darks. Â I tried making a Bad Pixel Map using 30 Darks and 30 Flats, and the BPM clearly had most of that amp glow marked as hot pixels. Â I used the default value of 3% hot pixels, and 10% of median for cold. Â
That doesn't seem right... Â Any ideas how to do that correctly?

Hi David
Same camera here. I leave BPM setting on automatic and have no problem with getting a clean pixel image.
You should not get any amp glow showing in your BPM - IMO
Did you use only darks and flats, not darkflats? I would try to incorporate darkflats and see what result you get.
Cheers

Even though that does show up in the BPM, I don't think it's an issue (as far as I know..), a BPM never degrades your data, so it won't correct pixels that are not showing up in your lights basically.
