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.
Looking for some advice.
I am trying to generate an RGB, HA and Oiii mosaic image. The stacked Oiii and HA data can be viewed but when I try view the RGB (One shot Colour) image I get this error 1285. I have searched the forum and one other member reported this issue when combining an image and I cannot tell if this was resolved.
Â
I have then tried to split the RGB Chanels on the OSC data and recombine RGB,HA and Oiii in RGB combine tool and the same error occurs.Â
Â
It looks like the its a memory issue. My MacBook Pro has 4gb of graphical memory and the files are nowhere near this size.
Has anyone else noticed this issue and can anyone recommend a solution?
error below:

Hi @mike998,
Thank you very much for sharing the issue.
There is definitely a workaround in APP here, disable the OpenGL image viewer by clicking on the top left OpenGL button, it should say CPU indicating OpenGL is disabled and a CPU based image viewer is used. It is less fast but it should not give this error.
The error occurs because your video hardware runs out of memory. The FloatsToUshortBufferedImageConverterWorker error occurs because the error is not dealt with properly, which I will fix a.s.a.p.
Can you share with me which APP version you are running? What macbook pro model do you have?

Hi @mike998,
I have fixed this error now for the next release, 2.0.0-beta23 😉 the error will not be shown again, and APP will correctly load the image in the non-OpenGL image viewer without you having to change the image viewer mode.
