June 24 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta46 has been released !

Improved internal memory configuration (lower ! memory usage), fixed beta45 startup issue, fixed Set Save Directory & 2-panel mosaics.

May 27 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta45 has been released !

Fully Multi-Threaded LNC, many improvements for the registration engine, platform upgrade, and further tuning of internal memory consumption and memory release back to OS.

Apr 14 2026: Google Pay, Apple Pay & WeChat Pay added as payment options

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.

 

Dwarf 3 multi-session darks (26–37°C) — automatic temperature matching in APP?

I'm still relatively new to calibration and post-processing, so apologies if this is basic — I've tried to read up first.

I'm processing a multi-session project of NGC 7000 (Caldwell 20, the North America Nebula) — 9 sessions on the same target — shot with an uncooled smart telescope (DwarfLab Dwarf 3). All my light frames and dark frames are 30s exposure, gain 60, same resolution. Sensor temperature was not regulated and ranges from 26°C to 37°C across sessions, for both lights and darks. I have 200+ darks covering that whole temperature range.

My question: if I load all darks and assign them to all sessions, does APP automatically match each light to darks of the corresponding sensor temperature? Or do I need to structure this manually — e.g. one session per temperature group, each with its own darks — to get correct temperature matching?

I read in your calibration principles post that "APP doesn't have dark frame adaption to lights yet," so I want to make sure I set up the temperature matching correctly.

APP version: 2.0.0-beta46 (macOS, Apple Silicon)
