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.
Hello,
I am trying to integrate multiple sessions and was having trouble recently. I had a previous topic about this and it was resolved. I have been able to integrate my 120s sessions with my 300s session successfully.
Now when I do ha & oiii extract I also integrate the sessions of 120s & 300s successfully. When I try to run a HOO or SHO combination it tell me that I cannot as the images aren’t the same size.
I can see this in the info on app where it gives me the pixel dimensions. This is a bit odd since I’m using the same camera and scope. 294mc pro and William Optics gt71.
Any idea as to why this is happening? Thank you!
@garycphoto Hi,
There usually is some drift or dithering during the night which results into a slight shift of the target in the lights. APP aligns the lights resulting in a larger image than the size of a single light. The size difference depends on how much the target wanders and usually is different on different nights. That explains why the 120 sec and 300 sec integrations have different sizes.
Just load the integration results as lights (no calibration data), go to tab 4 and register them against each other. That will make APP align the images and give them the same dimensions. You can then save the registered frames at the bottom of tab 4 and load those into combine rgb.
HTH, Wouter
@wvreeven Thanks for the quick response Wouter. I’ll try that for sure.
