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 itĀ 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.
So finally I've got my dedicated cooled OSC camera (Omegon 533) and I can handle noise a lot better. So it is time to drizzle for better outcome. And it works! I think I would easily manage the extra noise.

For my Ha filter capture I've used : Algorithm Ha, Force Bayer/X-Trans CFA checked, topHatKernel, droplet 0.5, Bayer/X-Trans drizzle, scale 2 = Success
For my Triband filter capture, I've used: Algorithm Ha-Oiii Color, Force Bayer/X-Trans CFA checked, topHatKernel, droplet 0.5, Bayer/X-Trans drizzle, scale 2 Ā = Ā Success
Then as usual I've tried to extract Ha and Oiii into two separate Fits.Ā
So I've used Algorithm Ha-Oiii extract Ha, Force Bayer/X-Trans CFA checked, topHatKernel, droplet 0.5, Bayer/X-Trans drizzle, scale 2 = Fail

I've tried to change from Bayer/X-Trans drizzle to drizzle, and a message appears:
What I am missing?
I have the same problem with my ASI533mc and an L-enhance filter. I guess the bayer drizzle of Ha/OIII extraction is not integrated yet. But I found it in the feature presentation for the next upcoming beta, so we need to wait only a few more days/weeks until this should be possible.
I was using the latest stable version and I was hoping that 1.083 will resolve this...but no 😔
There is an issue with this that is fixed in beta 2, Mabula is working very hard on finishing that. It took a long time this time for which we do apologize, but this is because the update is a complex one this time around.
