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 corrected the images with Dark, Flat and BIAS.
I was able to handle without problems.
But a imbalance of the brightness by OAG remained at the top left of the image,
so I want to know how to remove it.
It looks like a bit different in each of L, R, G, B.
Thank you
You can use the LP tool for that (Light Pollution tool). Add 5 boxes around the image, make sure it's background (by stretching the image to the 30% preset) and calculate, check the result and then add 1-2 small boxes towards any gradient that is left and recalculate. Move boxes towards the gradient, not immediately on top of it.
Hello Vincent
Thank you for your answer.
I will use LP tool for the first time, so I will try variously.
This behavior is due to the fact that FLAT is not properly created?
Is it corrected by the appropriate FLAT even if there is an OAG shadow?
Thank you
If the flats work correctly I think it should be able to yes, I have no experience with this and a OAG, but a flat does correct for the overall illumination profile of the optics. Check if you can see if the flats are indeed applied, in the list below when you calibrate the lights will get "MF" added to the filenames.
Hello Vincent
Christian Sasse's video answered a lot of questions. : Https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/complete-lrgb-tutorial-of-ngc292-the-small-magellanic-cloud-by-christian-sasse-itelescope-net-new-version-app-1-081 /
I also used LP tools like videos and LP tools had a wonderful job.
it is really amazing!
It is isn't it. 🙂 This is where advanced algorithms shine.
