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.
I took shorter single frame exposures of Neowise but can see that the total time widened the lead of the comet in integration. Â I would like to only use half the data in my stack up.
Is there a method that I could use that would remove the frames I don't want so I could re-integrate the data that I want to keep?
Would this be as simple as deleting the existing integration image, unchecking the boxes of the lights that I don't want and re-integrating the frames I want to keep or would there be other steps involved?
No, that would be the way to do that indeed. You might also want to just clear the list and reload the data with the frames you want.
Vincent: Â Thank you, there are times when I end up with some undesirable frames in the stack up.
1 question associated with your reply. Â When you suggest clearing out all the frames out and reloading only the data that is needed does that require the saving of calibrated frames?
Â
No, what I mean there is simply that if you know which frames can be removed, that you just load in the good ones straight away for instance. But it may be easier to do it the way you want.
