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.
I keep getting the attached error when trying to register a high resolution version of this 4 x 1 mosaic (draft uncalibrated version attached which worked ok)
I've tried a heap of different settings.
Does anyone have any suggestions ?
(the computer is plenty powerful by the way with 56GB allocated to APP)
Thanks, Kelvin
Thanks for letting us know! If you could upload those frames to our server I can let Mabula know about it, seems like a possible software bug, thanks for notifying!
Go to https://upload.astropixelprocessor.com and use upload1 as username and upload1 as password.
Create a directory named “kelvin-hennessey-mosaicfailure” and upload in there. Thank you!
@vincent-mod ok they are uploading now but will take a long time as they are between 250 and 350MB each. I'll notify once complete
Thanks Kevin, I might not be able to process them myself even so I'll also notify Mabula when done. 😉
@vincent-mod my mosaic file have finished uploading.
@kelvin-hennessy Hi Kelvin, great data and beautiful mosaic. What I did is:
- tab 3:
- set the number of stars to 3000
- tab 4:
- set the patter to triangles
- scale start 5
- scale stop 15
- enable dynamic distortion correction
- disable same camera and optics
- set registration mode to mosaic
- tab 5:
- set mode to advanced
- tab 6:
- enable MBB and set it to 15%
- hit the INTEGRATE button
@wvreeven I still get the same error. I'll try restarting the computer and reloading from scratch - I may have changed other settings in my various attempts
@kelvin-hennessy The defaults are not saved when closing APP so no need to restart the computer. Is your data on the internal HD of the computer or are you using an external HD?
@wvreeven restarting APP (and the computer) fixed the problem. I hadnt restarted in a while and I only had 60GB free disk space - plus had been doing a lot of integrations. Maybe I experienced memory creep. I'll be redoing it all from scratch again soon once I get more data for the Omega region so it will be interesting to see if it happens again. Here's the draft result which I'm very pleased with
