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.

What are those black pixels in my stacked image?   I don't remember seeing those before.

Thanks

Could these be caused, perhaps, by a dark that doesn't represent your data? How old are your calibration files? What settings did you use in APP itself on what kind of data?

Can you please answer Vincent's questions? Without your answers to them, we cannot help you resolve your issue.

@wvreeven Darks are fine. As stipulated in my previous reply, I used the dark library last week without any issues. I did the exact same process on another target and no issue.

I extract Ha from a color image obtained from a OSC.  2.8 hrs total. Fresh flats and darkflats every time. 

Maybe using LNC would hide those?

Is that what you did last week as well when it worked? Was that with Ha extracted from a color image obtained with an OSC as well? If not, what kind of data did you use last week? How long did you expose for each image from which you extracted the Ha signal? What Ha filter were you using? What OSC camera do you use?

You can try to see if it works but if I were you I would want to know the cause and prevent that in the future.
