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.
I am exeperiencing a strange bug in APP 1.077 when applying neutralizeBG in calibrated images
Everyting seems ok until, after calibration, i check visually the calibrated with neutralizeBG: instead of "equalizing" the RGB curves, the blue one becomes dominant in the hystogram, the sky background becomes blu, object on the image becomes yellow.
If i use the same masters (calculated with 1.077) and follow the same procedure on same lights with older 1.075, the problem disappear, and the overall nbg seems much better.
I check on three different pc (intel notebook and AMD+radeon GPU) and all GL settings, but with same result. The effect is present also in the saved tiff / jpeg.
Am i doing someting wrong in my procedure? There is something "wrong" in my raw files?

Here an example with two images, same target of two different night, same equipment and exposure time.
M86-1-60-3-C0.fit = GOOD FRAME with 1.077
Â
M86-1-60-1-C0.fit = BAD FRAME with 1.077
Â
M86-1-60-3-C0.fit = GOOD FRAME with 1.075
Â
M86-1-60-1-C0.fit = BAD FRAME with 1.075

There were some changes made in the models between these versions yes. Just to get this straight, are you using a gain of 3 for capturing data?
Yes!
QHY10 / Gain = 3 / Offset = 129
Same settings for both images
So there is sometingh wrong in using gain=3?
I select this value following the manufacturer procedure to set gain and offset to maximise the dynamic range of the camera.
I don't think so no, I was simply not used to these numbers as I always read about people using gains in the 100+ but that's something which differs for some sensors apparently.
Do you still have the same issues with 1.078?
