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.
I have about 600 subs that I'm stacking and only a few of them seem to be rotated in a strange way. I was just wondering if there's an easy way to find out what subs are being rotated?
What do you mean with "strange"? And are you referring to rotation you see in the end-result or with just those separate frames at the start?
@vincent-mod Sorry for the confusion, by strange rotation I mean most of the subs are aligned the same way, but there are a few outliers that are rotated at like 30 degrees or so. It's not a huge deal, but it does cause some lines to form around the edges of the image. You can see what I mean in this image.
I can see faintly, but it looks like all stars are aligned, so that means those frames were actually having a rotation in them from the start, APP aligns them to match the rest. If you add MBB and LNC in tab 6, those lines will likely disappear.
@vincent-mod Right, the images were taking at a slightly different angle APP did what it's supposed to do and aligned them well. I was just wondering if there is a simple way to see what images need to be rotated more than a few degrees and remove them from integration?Â
I will give your suggestion a try though, it sounds like it might not even be an issue, if APP can make them go away. As always, thanks for your help.
There is no need to remove those frames, that would be a waste of data. You can always use MBB and LNC and thing like light pollution correction to get the slight lines removed. And you're most welcome! 🙂
@vincent-mod - searched for and found this thread. You suggestion worked perfectly for me, thank you for posting it. In my case, I had nudged my camera and didn't check any images coming out of it as the earlier ones were fine. Lesson learned. 🙂
For anyone else reading this, I used 1st degree LNC with 3 iterations. I also used advanced mode for normalization.
