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.
Hello,
 I'm reviewing APP's capabilities but haven't been able to determine if it can remove blooms from a NABG camera using the KAF-3200 CCD. The closest I have seen is the option to remove hot pixel columns, but a bloom likely would not fit in that category.Â
Thank You,
Mike
Could you post a screenshot so I know for sure what you mean with bloom? 😉 (to clarify, just so I know for sure we're talking about the same thing)
Attached is a JPG example.Â

Thank You,
Mike
Ah excellent, thank you. Yes that is something APP can't really do at the moment. But Mabula is working hard to add a feature for that as this is also an issue we want APP to solve on some instruments from iTelescope.
OK..that's understandable. In the meantime would I be able to calibrate & remove the blooms (I am using CCDStack), save the calibrated frames then import them into APP to continue the processing?

Thank You,
Mike
I don't have experience for that myself, but what I would do is to calibrate the frames in APP, save the calibrated frames (down on the calibration tab) and then process it through something like CCDStack. However, it will depend on how that software is saving the results again. I've seen quite some software not properly handling fits headers, which can be problematic when you want to continue in APP again. If possible I would save the results in CCDstack and make the integration again in APP.
