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.
Hi,
I have a 2x2 mosaic plan with 20% overlap using ASIAIR and my target was Rho Ophiuch from bortle 4 sky. I'm trying APP to integrate but so far I am not able to integrate. Below is the error after Step4, which took almost a day to complete. I have a total of 154 lights from 4 panels, 20 flats, 20 dark flats, 20 darks and 30 bias. In step 4, it throws some error. I was able to integrate the frames once but I could see four panels were roughly stitched together. so I am trying to process again using this page Astro Pixel Processorby Aries Productions - latest release APP 2.0.0-beta19 - Forum but so far unsuccessful. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I'll pass this one on to Mabula.
Hi Tan,
Have you integrated each panel before making the mosaic ?
David
@dav78 No. I have loaded everything together and selected “mosaic” and then I am getting this error. I found Mabula’s another tutorial where he is suggesting to process panels separately and then integrate as mosaic, which worked nicely. Thanks all!
