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.
Hello fellow astrophotographers ...
I plan to add in my target about 30 hours of data because of the faint dark nebula
and i want to ask how is the properly way to do that ...
For example i can combine every two sessions together about (70 lights)
and after to combine all the combined lights together ?
The reason is to dont integrate together 30 hours of lights ... will take for eternity ...
So what settings i need when i will integrate all combine lights together ?
Clear Skies ...
You can choose to combine say 50 frames for 1 integration each with the normal automatic settings (or if you really want to change those, you can) and fully calibrated, then you load those integrations in as lights again at the end and stack those for the final integration.
@vincent-mod
To integrate all the lights at final step without any other settings ? for example local normalization rejection Or anything else?
Oh sorry, yes I would switch on LNC and MBB for the separate integrations as well.
@vincent-mod
Great Vincent !!!
I think that’s all from settling...
Thanks again
cLear skies.
