Improved internal memory configuration (lower ! memory usage), fixed beta45 startup issue, fixed Set Save Directory & 2-panel mosaics.
May 27 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta45 has been released !
Fully Multi-Threaded LNC, many improvements for the registration engine, platform upgrade, and further tuning of internal memory consumption and memory release back to OS.
Apr 14 2026: Google Pay, Apple Pay & WeChat Pay added as payment options
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 Vincent,
I ran across the following.
I am executing a multi-channel and a multi-session operation in one run.
Three channels (OIII, SII and Ha) and 3 session days (every day the same three channel acquisition scheme).
All Ha and SII frames of all sessions are properly calibrated (specifically no vignetting visible anymore).
However the OIII frame calibration is somewhat peculiar.
OIII frames from one of the sessions are properly calibrated. The other two sessions are not, as strong vignetting is still visible.Â
I executed the calibration process several times already with a repeating outcome.
BTW the file list indicates that the appropriate calibration files have been assigned to all the lights.
How could I figure out what is going wrong?

Hi Vincent,
I have been digging in the console log.
APP is assigning master flats to all lights.
It remains strange that for the OIII runs in two out of the three sessions calibration does not eliminate the vignetting properly.

Hi again Pieter, sorry for the delay..
Yes that is strange, but also sounds a bit like the data from the two other nights might be a bit different in some way, could this be the case if you look at the subs without any calibration?
Hi Vincent,
I calibrated in PI as well. Same problem. Must be something wrong with the flats. I will shoot new ones on a rainy day as my image train remained unchanged.
I tried the remove vignetting option. But that did not work well enough. A crop and remove light pollution bypassed the problem.
Ah yes that can very well be. Every though about getting a flat-panel? Personally I love it as you can then take the flats at any time and in a very controlled manner.
Hi Vincent,
I just finished my first narrow band image ever. As well as my first APP processing.
I attached my result so far.
How can I remove the greenish color.
Pls feel free to forward your recommendations.
To which channels did you assign all colors?
SII - R/G
Ha - G
OIII - B/G
So the main component of this nebula is Ha, which is green in your pallet. Or are you talking about a more general cast?
You can try HSL selective color and select green. Then using the saturation slider, go down a bit and slide the G->M (green to magenta) a bit to the right. Which should reduce the green.
I tried a few little things on the jpeg you posted here (so not optimal). I did some light pollution correction and selective color, reducing the green a bit. Most will still be green ofcourse. 🙂
