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 have tried this several times with different sessions, but I guess I have a setting wrong.
Camera = Canon 700d DAW mod
Filter = Baader 7nm h-alpha filter.
600sec lights, 2 sec flats
Telescope: Skywatcher Evostar 72ED
Whether I choose "H-alpha" when loading the lights, or RGB, the endresult that APP comes out with is a picture that resembles more of a Hubble palet picture than an OSC H-alpha (almost fully red). Why does this happen and how can I turn that off?
Thanks in advance
@arnom My guess is that the filter lets pass through more than Ha only OR that the G and B pixels of the camera are sensitive for Ha as well. The integration result probably is an RGB image and the histogram shows G and B peaks as well. You can split the RGB image in R, G and B images in tab 2 of APP and then only use the R image.
