Apr 9 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta40 will be released in 24 hours !
It has a major performance boost of 30-50% over 2.0.0-beta39 from calibration to integration, for mosaics even faster! 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. Improved Outlier Rejection with LN 2.0 rejection. macOS CMD+A works now in file chooser ! And more, all will be added to the release notes in the coming hours...
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 AM still having problems registering a 4 panel mosaic. 2 will register , 2 will not. Have integrated and stretched and processed with LP correction and saved as TIFFs.
Co-ordintaes used via Telescpious and copied into plan Mode on Asiairpro. All 4 panes executed and Integrated ok with Flats, Darks , Bias and Master Dark Flat.
Using as Modded Canon 600D
Tab 3 increased Analyse Star Count to 5k
Tab 4. Start - 7 , Scale stop 12. Flip descriptors - yes. Dynamic distortion Yes. Same Camera Optics - No
Tab 5 Set to Advanced
Tab 6 - 4th Degree LNC . Iterations -3. Enable MBB - 25% (Overlap on panes is 20%). Set scale to 0.3 - just to test.
It eventually fails to register and 3 even though they are the sam quality and match the Pane layout from Telescopious.
Very frustrating as with the FL scope of 780mm - I need to use Mosaics, but just can't get it to work. Checked the final Panes against Telscopious and look the same ?
