Improved internal memory controls (much more stable and faster on big datasets), fixed CPU image viewer, fixed Narrowband extraction demosaic algortihms.
Apr 29 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta42 has been released !
New improved Normalization engine, Fixed random crashes in integration, fixed RGB Combine & Calibrate Star Colors, fixed Narrowband extraction algorithms, new development platform with performance gains, bug fixes in the tools, etc...

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.
For the purpose of making a mosaic, one appears to need to run the RGB tool once for each panel. Since one can do the other steps up to integration by calling each panel a separate session, can this logic be extended to the RGB tool so that all panels would be processed the same way?
Hi Mark @mhubelnemon-com,
If I understand you correctly, you probably need to change the workflow in the following way:
1) Make the mosaic of the different channels/filters at the same time by loading the data per filter with the multi-filter/channel mode in )1 Load, register all as a mosaic so you will get a mosaic per filter.
2) Load those mosaics into the RGB combine tool to create the mosaic composite.
When creating a mosaic, you can find general guidelines here:

The multi-session option is not even needed in tis workflow and you would normally only use it when you have shot the same field of view on different nights and would have different flats per session 😉
Let me know if this helps.
