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 just tried 1.077 using Ha/OIII/SII data from 4 sessions and using the new "Automatic" Integration method.
The result is that the final integrations have lots of black speckles when you zoom into the image.
I re ran just the integration step using Average and Median and the speckles are not there with these methods.
I have a file for each integration method but they are too big to upload at 38MB each so have put in Dropbox here

Also, it would be good to know what settings the Automatic option chooses when used - for example its nice for it to choose Median or Average depending on # frames but I would always want to use Quality.

You can always use the quality setting, although these settings are not saved , yet. But I guess it shouldn't cause black speckles even on automatic. Thanks for notifying and I'll let Mabula know.
