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 there,
I stacked a mosaic yesterday and planned to "remove light pollution" today.
Loaded the fits and entered 5 area boxes. It calculated and improved the pic. ok.
I woul like to save that. It ended up with this "encountered Error in module FitsImageSaver". The window can not be closed and so I have to kill the Process.
Yes it is a large image and I increased the Memory available to 15 of 16 GB.
Hmmm...
Thank you
Greetings from Peter
That looks like a large mosaic indeed, nice! So, it does look like it's maxing out on memory, but I'm not sure that should result in such an error. At least the fits of the mosaic did work right? Is it a large fits file to upload? I'd like to try your steps as well to see what happens (I have 32GB of memory available).
