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 followed the video from Sara Wagner to register two Ha-images from two different scopes. It worked perfectly. However, I want to then integrate those two images into one. I have done that but unless I severely crop the final image; I have a black background issue (see attachment). You can clearly see a rectangular box surrounding the image from the one scope. Is there any way to address this problem?
@umasscrew39 Yes you can. TAB 6) integrate / enable Multi-band blending, maybe set it to 10%, and fiddle around with settings in "local normalization correction"
@john-j Thank you, John. I greatly appreciate the help. It worked.
Hi @umasscrew39 & @john-j,
Great, indeed, Multi-Band Blending is the key here 😉 together with LNC ! thanks for helping out John.
