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.

Will APP cope wiuth a mixture og png and fits files in one stacking session? Didn't notice Sharpcap had switched type to png which I have never used.

Hi Trevor @woldsweather,
That should be no problem, provided that the PNG are created with the same pixel dimensions as the FITS and thus are correctly related to your calibration frames.

Hi Mabula
Â
Similarly to above.
Â
I have two folders of Bodes Galaxy one pre flip and one post flip.
Â
Can I drop them all into APP and APP will process them normally?

thanks
