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.
I'm getting this weird null error when I try to go and integrate my data set.
This is the text of the error:
Â
Astro Pixel Processor - 2.0.0-beta38

For background I'm using a OSC camera with two different dual-band filters. One filter is Ha & Oiii, the other filter is Sii & Oiii. I have 3 sessions of data with 103 light frames between them. Sessions 1-2 is Ha & Oiii, and Session 3 is Sii & Oiii. This will be my first time trying to include Sii data in my set.
Â
My plan was to:
1) Load all frames and run APP up to registration.
2) Set algorithm to HA-OIII-Extract HA and uncheck Session 3 to only integrate Sessions 1-2, run the integration, and save the HA file.
3) Set algorithm to HA-OIII-Extract OIII and check all frames to integrate, run the integration, and save the Oiii file
4) Set algorithm to HA-OIII-Extract HA, and uncheck sessions 1-2 to only integrate session 3, run the integration, and save the Sii file.
5) Recombine everything in APP.
Â
I have a suspicion that this may be caused by the fact that I'm trying to run an integration without including the automatically selected reference frame, but I can't say for certain.
