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.

Camera and field of view are the same, but different telephoto lenses. I work with an external SSD hard drive, type Sandisk Extreme 900.

@minusman,

So the 2 lenses have the same field of view ?

Another possible place for the bug, could be normalization ( allthough I doubt it), You used advanced normalization right?

Or do you mean with different fields of view, different focal lengths? Because then the fields of vision are different. 🤔

Yes, indeed, the field of views then don't match which shouldn't be a problem. But if the area of bad integration matches the field of view of part of the images, than that's an indication for me.

@minusman,

Can't seem to reproduce the problem for now I am afraid ... 😐 

I integrated 200 frames of a Nikon D5100 with exposures of only 2,5 seconds shot from a simple tripod, no tracking, no guiding.

LNMWC 1 iteration kappa 4 , diffraction protection set at 20 (so 10% of number of lights)

Bayer Drizzle, droplets 2.0 pixel, scale 1.0

LNC 1ste degree 3 iterations, MBB 25%

The edges are the results of the field of view slowly moving between the frame since no tracking, guiding.

So the integration with the LN Winsor clip filter brought no change. Try LN MAD Sigma Clip now. Have additionally deactivated diffraction protection.

Data Set 1.  FOV 108.00x72.00 arc-minutes with Baader UHC-S Filter    Refraktor

Data Set 2.  FOV 122.00x78.00 arc-minutes                                                    Maksutov

Data Set 3.  FOV 122.00x78.00 arc-minutes                                                    Sigma Telephoto lens

Data Set 4.  FOV 78.00x52.00 arc-minutes                                                      Maksutov

Data Set 5.  FOV 80.00x53.00 arc-minutes                                                      Maksutov

Camera Canon EOS 6D unmodified Pixelsize 6,54 microns

Hello Mabula, I will change my test procedure. I first examine the individual data sets. 🧐

Ok, thanks, let me know if you encounter anything suspicious... 😉

Hello Mabula, could successfully integrate the data set individually. Then I have the data set started to integrate with each other, which has also worked, see picture.

Screenshot (4)(1)
Screenshot (5)(1)

With the increase of the LNC Degree from 1 to 8 and then the psychedelic integration came about.

@minusman,

Thank you very much 😉 for testing this and locating the problem, which then is high degree LNC clearly.

I will run tests to see if I can duplicate this now 😉 and fix / upgrade LNC which is almost due..

Regarding LNC, in my own experience, the lowest degree that gives a good result is probably the best. Higher degrees tend to introduce same waves in the data, which I need to fix in a future version.

Cheers,

Mabula

Hello Mabula, here is the finished picture. Just do not know if I'm right with the Star Color Calibration. So I'm completely satisfied. I only had difficulty with uploading the picture. There always came error message.

@minusman,

That looks great 😉 thanks for sharing !

Colors are very nice as well I think, maybe a bit on the blue side, but only slightly. It's very close I think.

Nice saturation in the stars.
