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 APP,
My question is simple (I think I know the answer but want to verify)
When Registering, Normalizing and Integrating previously stacked data in APP (so...stacking stacks from multiple nights)...I assume you want to stack the non stretched saved file?
Yes, you stack the linear masters, not the stretched files.
Apologies a follow up question.
Do you Integrate these previously stacked sets (tab 6)?
Or just Analyze Stars, Register and Normalize?
I load the integrated masters as lights with no calibration frames, then integrate.

Hi @cschurch,
Like @imnewhere indicates, load the previous stacks as lights and click on integrate in 6) 😉

@mabula-admin Thank you for this! I didn't reply last time...but I keep coming back to this to remember again and again. Currently working on a multiple session M31 (probably about 10 total sessions). Up to 5 now and I couldn't remember the answer.
Appreciate it!
