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.
I am trying out app, I have been getting a weird color in the center of my images after integration. Can anyone tell me why this would happen? I am on a trial license on pi as well and do not get this when I integrate with pi, but I want this software to work for me it is a lot faster. I am using a edge hd8/hyperstar/optolong l-enhanced filter. this is a stack of 100x30s subs, 20 flats x.50s, 20 dark flats x.50s. any help would be great.
Thanks
What happens if you leave out the flats?
Also, what camera is used and are you extracting the narrowband data beforehand (in tab 0 there are options for extraction of OIII and Ha), there is also a color option for OIII and Ha which might be easied to try first. Extracting the narrowband data separately can enhance the data as you can work on those frames first and then later combine them.

I am imaging with a zwo asi 294 mc pro cooled. One shot color. If I leave out the flats. That pink color covers the entire piece. I will give the narrow bad a try.
Thanks
No matter what i do I still get this center haze. I do not get it with pixnsight, and my trial is running out. I hope this gets fixed but I have to go to pi.
This will likely be a workflow issue, you can send me some of the data you're trying out and I can see what is happening and tell you. If PI can do it, APP for sure will be able to as well. You can upload to our server, create a directory in it with your name and "-colorhaze" attached to it and upload in there. Login and password is: appuser
Thanks
ps. If you need any more trial time, just send a request to mabula@astropixelprocessor.com he will be happy to provide you with an extension.
