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.
Hello,
since the release of ASKARs dual narrowband filters with S2-O3 and Ha-O3 https://www.askarlens.com/index.php/6nmcolourmagic/308.html Hubble Palette will be easily possible to shot with an OSC.
For now S2 extraction is possible (not yet tested by myself but soon to come) with the "extract Ha from Ha-O3" algorithm. But the result would probably be better with a dedicated algorithm for that.
Are there plans for a possible feature for that?
Greetings, Benjamin
SII falls into the red spectrum the OSC records, so it'll not help to have a different algorithm as there's no way to distinguish wavelengths from data that is specific for SII or Ha when both are recorded mainly via the red filtered pixels on the sensor. If you really want only SII and Ha, you need specific SII and Ha only filters.
