Jan 31 2026: APP 2.0.0-beta40 will soon be released with many fixes especially for Linux, upgraded development platform and 10-20% performance boost !

Jan 15 2026: FIXED LICENSE SERVER VPN Tunnel  issue

 The issue could have prevented APP to start when using a VPN tunnel or another complicated network configuration, like using APP on a remote computer on a different continent. This issue is fixed now and APP should start normally.

Jan 04 2026: 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. Unfortunately, Mabula was struck by a severe flu virus in the past couple of weeks and thus could not work.  He is getting much better now and he has resumed work to release 2.0.0 as soon as possible. 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.

Nov 28 2025:  APP 2.0.0-beta39 has been released !

It is a major update with a new and much improved registration engine and much better Multi-Narrowband processing !

Hi,

I am using a ZWOASI294MC PRO Colour camera.

When I preview in SharpCap and also preview the fits images they clearly have colour in them however when I load into APP, along with the flats and darks they are coming out monochrome. APP is even referring to it as a monochrome image when I am using option s in tab 9.

The colour space column says GRAY 8 and so on.

I would be very grateful for any assistance.

Thanks,

Anthony

Hi Anthony,

 

Did u set the bayer pattern on RGGB? Look at the tab 0 here you can set this. Use RGGB and check the box FORCE CFA. Then you get colour images.

 

Clear skies Jan-Willem
