June 24 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta46 has been released !
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.

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.
Hello,
today I tried to stack a 2-panel mosaic (2x100 Light frames). I stopped the registration after ~4hours (procesed ~2000 of ~19000 tasks).Â
I'm using the beta29-Version on my pc with
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core Processor 4.50 GHz / 64gb Ram. Allocated 31 of 32 threads and Ram accordingly.
In the register tab I have the following settings:
scale start at 5, end at 12 and followed the recommendations of APP.
Is there a way to speed up the registration?
All the best SK

2 panel mosaics usually register reasonably quickly. I'm guessing you may have tried to register all 200 frames at once. That will take forever.
Instead, you should load, register and integrate all frames for panel 1 as a normal integration. Clear the data and repeat for all frames in panel 2. Then load the two unstretched integrations as if they are lights (with no calibration data) and do a mosaic registration and integration. As long as there is a resonable overlap it should work fine.
I have raised questions on this forum in the past about whether light pollution reduction should be done before or after the mosaic is created - I ended up trying it both ways and picking the one I liked best.

Hi Stefan @stefan7777gmx-de,
Thank you very much for your question.
It is like John @connor231 (thanks John!)Â indicates, first make 2 integrations per mosaic panel with regular registration. Then make a 2 panel mosaic with the 2 integrated files. Since it is only 2-panel, you can even skip the mosaic mode I think.
What happens if you keep the registration mode on normal versus mosaic? Maybe all is fine and quick then?
The mosaic registration mode is only needed when there will be frames/exposures/panels that do not overlap at all with the reference frame. Otherwise the normal registration mode should and will work.
