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.
New to APP but have had some great results with other images. I stacked a 2 panel Ha mosaic I did but I have some strange warping near the middle of the the first panel. I did add some data to the top panel that was slightly to the right and bottom of that panel with a dual band filter to help fill in a gap I had. Its from same scope and camera though. Would this be the issue since those panels were very close to the same spot?
So my Ha stack just finished with just the 2 panels and the warping is not there... Is there a setting that would allow me to add the extra data and avoid the warping?
How many stars did you use for star analysis? Upping that to about 2000 should help.
@vincent-mod
Just the default setting. Ill try upping it and see how that works. Thanks for the reply!
Ah, so for mosaics you’d want to select some other options, like Advanced mode, 2000 stars, not the same camera and optics and dynamic distortion correction.
