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.

Hello,

I opened two images in APP and tried to do some basic processing. 

The images are a part of a mosaic, but just two panels. 

They are FITS master luminance created in other software. 

On the Analyse Stars step I get a message no lights available. 

I don't know why, or how to go forward from here. 

 

any suggestions, thanks.

Hi Malcolm @malcolmpark1,

Because the 2 files are previous integrations, APP will load them as integrations automatically unless, you load them with the lights buttons and tell APP that these should be loaded as lights and not an integration when APP asks you.

thanks, I may be getting the hang of it. 

First time user here 🙂 

Can you advise on these results? 

The good result is Luminance, binned 1x and I just used Sara Wegar's youtube instructions. 

I provided all the calibration files and lights, configured the settings and clicked integrate. 

After a few hours (6 panels mosaic) I got a beautiful result. Very happy!

Then I decided to process my RGB data beginning with the red data. 

The quality of each data set is good, and comparable. 

The data is from Chile, clear skies, high altitude. 1.8"/px

When I review the subs individually, I see no extreme outliers. 

I'm wondering what I can change in settings to get the red data to come out looking as fine as s the Lum data? 

thanks for your time,

 

PS I just went back in to reprocess this. 

I noticed that I might have put the MasterFlat in the Flat section, instead of MasterFlat section. 

Might this explain it?

Yes, that may explain the result as it seems it didn't apply flats in the second result.

Yes, it might explain het problem so please retry with the calibration properly loaded 😉
