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.

This Squid Nebula uses 12 Light (300 seconds), 20 DARK, 20 flats, 20 DARKFLAT, and 20 BIAS.
Telescope time rental services say the darkness of 21.5 SQM at night. Perhaps I think it was taken with that darkness, but the left and right brightness is imbalanced as if it were the effects of light pollution.
The camera is ASI2600MC Pro and the telescope is TAKAHASHI FSQ106-ED F/3.6.
APP Version 1.083.3
Thank you.

Seems like there was some, maybe the moon? You can easily get rid of this using the light pollution tool. 🙂 I would also suggest to update to 1.083.4 as quite some fixes were made in there.
