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.
Hello, I've just tried for the first time to process data from two sources, which generates an error in APP.
I have data of NGC1893 taken with a Sharpstar 61 with a Canon Ra in RGB and data from a William Optics 81 and ASI600 in HSO.Â
When the normalise process gets to the RGB images in the queue i get these 2 error messages pop up and the process halts.
Â
I have the same optics unchecked, and the remainder of settings at default.
i assume this is user error, running version 1.082 on a Mac. Any idea what i am doing wrong?
Â
thanks!

You're trying to combine mono with RGB data which isn't, yet, possible. Have a look at this thread:

Thank you, will follow that advice this evening.
