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.
@vincent-mod If I don't change anything, I don't get these strange colors. The problem shows up if I turn on LNC. So there is definitely an issue with LNC
I don't think it's necessary a bug in LNC itself, that would surprise me as there aren't many people with this problem. I think it's a combination of an issue with the data (and/or calibration data) and the LNC operation. Does your result look good though without using LNC?
So that means you process first by extracting the narrowband data right? Not straight away loading in the data, integrating RGB and then the combineRGB tool? Because that's preferred, first extracting the narrowband data, (Halpha and OIII separately) making integrated Ha and OIII files, normalize those against each other and save the normalized frames and only then combining them in the combineRGB tool.
So are they normalized twice?
Well, first just in between each other (Ha data itself, OIII data itself) and then the resulting integrations.
