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.

Apr 14 2026: Google Pay, Apple Pay & WeChat Pay added as payment options

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,

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.
