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.

 

How to stop APP stripping FITS headers?

When trying to get Pixinsight to do a photometric color calibration on an image I had stacked with APP, I noticed that the "acquire from image" option does not work. This is because APP strips the FITS header info (in this case RA and Dec) which was originally in the light frames.

Is there an option to prevent APP doing this?

Thanks

The integrated result will have less data indeed, this is because some of it changes per frame, however Mabula will add more information to the result specifically to solve things like this indeed.

Thanks for replying. 

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're saying though. I'm not sure what 'Mabula' means here. Are you referring to a future release of the software which will not strip out FITS header data?

Mabula is the name of the developer. 🙂 So,yes in a future release things like this will be addressed.
