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.
Hey fellows Astrophotographers ...
I wonder what is the recommended integration mode for a OscÂ
interpolation or Bayer/X-Trans drizzle Â
(Tab 6 integrate - integrate mode)

Hi Stratos,
As you can see in the help of the integration mode, the help of drizzle integration kernel explains when to use which. There it says that your data must be well dithered and undersampled. In short, you need to have applied dithering while imaging and the pixels of your OSC need to be relatively large wrt the focal length of your telescope. So there is not a "recommended integration mode for a Osc" (to quote your question) alone since it also depends on the focal length of the telescope you're using.

HTH, Wouter
Yep, drizzling I would only use with plenty of data, well dithered and undersampling (when you zoom in you see more squar-ish stars). Otherwise interpolation.
