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.

I shot a nebula two nights in a row.
Stacked in AstroPixelProcessor the first night's dark/flats/lights AND have the stretched
and unstretched FITS files BUT have lost the original light files 🙁
Now I have another night's lights on the same nebula.
Is there a way to process the second night's flats/darks/lights and combine with
the first nights FITS file?
I know, lesson learned, just delete files! I even cleaned the recycle bin 🙁
Thanks for any clues.

Stack the second night into master fits files then stack both sets of fits files as lights without any calibration frames.
