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.
Hi all,
I just playing around with the new beta40. Seems to be quite fast. BUT I have encountered one problem:
When integrating 460 lights from Horsehead (using two different focal length 1500mm and 1150mm with my 12" Newtonian) I tried first a standard integration, no problem. Then switched from Integrate mode "interpolation" to Bayer/X-Trans", scale 1.0, droplet 0.85: worked again with no problem.
Then I thought try the new LNC: used 1st degree LNC with 3 iterations. Then everything went fine until "creating FITS HEADER": a "warning" poped up: encountered an Exception while saving..." (see attached image)
So maybe a bug?
Hi @juergenn,
Thank you very much for reporting this. In another thread, this issue is also mentioned. LNC 2.0 seems to have a problem with Bayer Drizzle stacks. I will quickly test here and will report back.

@mabula-admin Same here Mabula with MacOS Tahoe most recent version on my Mac Studio... Rolled back to version 39 and all went fine...
Hi André @andrecajolais & @juergenn,
Thank you very much for reporting this. Is this the same problem, LNC 2.0 not working with Bayer Drizzle? Or are you using different integration settings?
I am working to fix this and will try to release a fixed version tomorrow. Will report back soon.
Mabula.
Hi @andrecajolais & @juergenn,
