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.

 Dear all, I have a little bit strange question. I use an color DSLR with an 80mm Apo and a debayert DSLR with narrowband Filters attached to a Spacecat51. The field of view is nearly the same.Â
I want to combine the narrowband image as a luminanz/contrast boost in the color image. The distorsion of the optics is not the same.Â
Is there a possibility to combine these images or correct the distorsion of the narrowband image to be able to combine it with the RGB image?Â
Â
Hope you can help me - Clear skies

Yes, best way to do this (I think) is to separate the channels of the RGB image (tab 2, all the way down) and save those. Then load them in again as R, G and B together with the narrowband data as luminance. Select "dynamic distortion correction" and go through the flow of registration, normalization and integration. You can then combine the stacks in the RGBCombine tool.
