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.

Hi All,
I saw a thread on Oiii / Sii filters and how to use APP to extract the data but cant find it
I'm considering this filter but want to be sure APP can process it before I buy it
Can anyone advise how to extract the files like a dual band filter
Many Thanks
Paul

Juergen is correct yes, I'm guessing you're using these with a color sensor? Then the bayer matrix with RGB pixels, will only filter for those broad spectra and specific wavelengths that are a bit red, and another that's more red, will both end up in the red pixel. So the extra Ha and OIII then is to be used.
