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 don't have any gain or exposure listed in the frame list, just says 0.000. I am using a new astro camera. I didn't have this problem with my DSLR. I'm assuming it's a simple fix but I don't know what it is.
Thanks!

What camera are you using and are these details also in the FITS headers? If not then the capture program you're using might not have included this information.

Hey Vincent, thanks for the reply. That's what I was thinking because I'm using a QHY183C and I'm saving the images as TIF files. Is that why the info is not there and I should use FIT files?

That may very well be, there's no need to save them as tif I think, just stick with fits and then you can always save as tif later on.
