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 everyone, I am attaching images of three menus. I would like to know which are the best options to select to work images from ASI071 RGGB, in order to have the best result?
Last question: where should I go (if you can), to reduce the size of the stars?
Clear skies to all.

I used to use Bayer drizzle with the default settings above and drop size of 2 as recommended by Mabula. However, mosaics with drizzle turned on were too big to process in a timely way.  Here's a 2 panel of the California Nebula I recently finished.
Star reduction starts at the telescope by trying to not saturate the brightest stars. I post process using Startools which does an OK job, but there is another standalone program called Starnet++ that is supposed to be very good. I've downloaded, but not tried it yet.Â
