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.

Going on 10 days now trying to stack a 6 panel mosaic. How do I know if and when this will end? For all I know it could be 5 minutes from finishing registering... or another 2 months.
Its 344 R, G, B subs. I have done 700 subs of a single target overnight. But this is a huge swath of the sky. How can I possibly know how much longer this is going to take? It has failed so many times that I made the register parameters as loose as possible because I know the have proper overlap.
Id like to cancel and maybe just do all of a single color, but I already invested 10 days of computer power on this. It has been sitting on 80% while the log meter just spews out worthless information. Every morning I wake up and check... and nothing. And like I said without knowing truly how much longer is left, I have no way to make the executive decision on whether or not to cut my losses and try just to stack a single channel. I have had great luck with APP and mosaics most times, but these really wide field mosaics are such a challenge for the computer and the program itself.
