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