Apr 9 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta40 has been released !
It has a major performance boost of 30-50% over 2.0.0-beta39 from calibration to integration, for mosaics even faster! 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. Improved Outlier Rejection with LN 2.0 rejection. macOS CMD+A works now in file chooser ! And more, all will be added to the release notes in the coming hours...
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'm still stuck with 60sec subs because the guiding refuses to cooperate, but even then, I get subs that show a fair bit of nebulosity (I can make out the California nebula). When I then try to stack these in APP, I get the dreaded light leakage warning and the result is a coarse, grainy image that only has green stars and some satellite trails (see attached image). Is there anything I can do about this, perhaps change the stacking settings to still get some result from this data or should I simply try to increase the sub exposure?

Oddly enough, I stacked the data without any problem in DSS, so I'm not sure what's happening here.
