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.
Hi,
I'm trying to emulate 'blink' functionality using APP. I've got a batch of subs, and have done the "save registered frames" operation that has produced a FITS file for each. But I don't have a good way of rapidly viewing a stretched version of each.
What I'd like now is to apply DDP / auto-stretching in APP for each file (default setting are fine), and save as a JPEG, to allow me to quickly flip through them in another application. It's easy enough to save stretched fames individually, but it gets tedious quickly.
I checked the batch modify tool, and that doesn't seem to provide what I want. Is there a way to do a batch stretch in APP currently? Anything faster/easier than manually opening and saving a stretched version of each sub?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
+1 for me!
My use case is that I want to correct/stretch each frame of comet C/2020 F3 and assemble them into a video to see comet motion against the stars. Comet stacking in the beta version has been absolutely wonderful so far, and batching (or allowing export to video) would be a great addition to this.
There is no batch stretch, but a way to flip through the data is something that is on Mabula's to-do list. When that'll arrive I have no insight in though.
