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 have OSC and Ha data of M42. When I load them I put them in different sessions and channels. I load matching darks and flats. It seems to run ok, but the it says “Can’t calibrate Channel 1. Lights are 1 channel and flats are 3 channel”. The flats are also mono. Should I be able to do this?

Hi Wayne @whixson and Dave @jonesdee,
Processing Multi-channel / OSC data and monochrome data at the same time is not possible yet. I will work to make this possible.
You need to process that separately. To combine the data:
1) split the RGB channels with 2) Calibrate, split channels, save calibrated frames either on the calibrated subs or on the actual RGB integration.
2) then register and normalize the R,G,B, L/Ha data and proceed as normal
Please let me know if this is clear 😉

Sounds good Mabula! Thanks
