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 Guy's
Anyone have a clue as to why my stars look like this close up below, i can see it i think in the light frames just. Taken with a ZWO294MC via a filter wheel and a Samyang 135mm F2 lens backspace 44mm. The Lens is wide open F2

@moviecells The small stars look like that because of coma introduced by the lens. With this lens you probably better stop down the diaphragm a few steps. The bright star looks like that because probably something sticks out a little bit into the light path. Stopping down the diaphragm should solve that as well.
