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 just downloaded Astro Pixel. I cannot open any of my image files, all say file is incomplete or corrupted. They open fine in all my other programs. Any thoughts
Â
Can you elaborate a bit on the images? What type are they (FITS, CR2, other format)? How were they obtained (RAW images, processed in other apps)? What other app(s) do they open in? Can you post an example? I am afraid it is impossible to say anything sensible without more info...
Thanks, Wouter
Hello. Its strange the files will open fine with Astro Pixel on my other laptop running Windows 10. Both computer have same system.Â
Maybe try a re-install of APP, this is a very strange problem I've never seen before so my guess is the system isn't exactly the same somehow.
