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 Mabula,
I was wondering if you could help me with a workflow for my DSLR - Canon 550D or point me top a tutorial that will help.
I've taken the following subs
Lights - 12 at ISO 800 (10 min subs)
Darks - 5 at ISO 800 (10 min subs)
Bias - 200 at OISO 800
Flat - 50 at ISO 800.
From the above I've created a BPM, master Dark, Master Bias and Master Flat. I created the master dark as I could see what appeared to be fixed noise - horizontal lines across the dark when I stretched it so9 from other tutorials I thought a Master dark would be required.
It is at this point that I'm not sure what to do and what settings to use, are you able to help me with a workflow as I cannot find any tutorials covering the above subs
Regards
Doug
Hi Doug,
Certainly, can you send me part of your data?
So 5 lights, 5 darks, 5 bias, 5 flats? I will then create a video tutorial for you explaining how to calibrate your data?
You can send it to me using wetransfer, use support@astropixelprocessor.com
If you can't send the data, I'll write it down for you tomorrow, okay?
Kind regards,
Mabula
Mabula has now provided me with a workflow and video tutorial.
Thanks very much it has been a great help.
