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.

Hi
i have two image sets and they dont stack. it ends up in a big blur. the frames look ok, but it just doesnt align them for proper stacking. is there an upper limit on the stacking amount?

I assume it is registering on hot pixels.. just not sure why. nothing changed on the setup and it is only two targets out of 3 last night where it is happening.

In the latest beta there is an option in tab 3, analyse stars which says "cosmic ray / noise reducer" which is a way to try to not mistake hot pixels and such for stars. Usually this only happens on older sensors though, but you can try that.
