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.
When I try to do light pollution correction on my narrowband subs and then color combine, I get
ncountered error in module:

Error message:

They work fine if I don't do LPC beforehaND

That is interesting. So you load in your narrowband data, perform LPC, save the LPC result and then try to combine them?
Exactly. I shot images with a QHY268C and L-Extreme filter. I ran the Ha and O3 extract. Both look good but significant light pollution. I have found it better to do LPC individually and then RGB Combine, but now with 183.3 I get this error. Regardless of how I load or which formula. I can combine the original masters but the results aren’t as satisfactory as when I clean them up first. No cropping, no other process other than LPC.
Never mind. It’s working now, after my computer had a rest I guess!
