UPDATE FROM MABULA
I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred  after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. Â Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
Astrobin IOTD for this 10 panel Mosaic made with AstroPixelProcessor. with 0.06 pixel registration accuracy on fully automatic (!) with only the registration mode set to "mosaic" and integration "full". APP asks 3 questions in pop-up boxes and beginners can just go with the default options.
(Each panel was stacked/ calibrated before the mosaic step with Bias, Darks, flats and BPM)
1255x300 second Luminance subs (104.6 hrs) Image dates: 17 nov, 1,5,6,8,12,31 dec 2018, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 jan 2019.
Esprit 100 f5.5 APO refractor/ QHY16200 CCD @-20C.
Â
To make the end version i used MBB=5% and LNC1 with 1 iteration.
Thanks for sharing this amazing result Kees! Well deserved Image Of The Day I would say. Great to see APP working so well for data like this.
Hi Kees @kees_scherer,
That is an amazing image ! Well deserved IOTD 🙂 congratulations !
Were you shooting subs for all 6 panels each night that the sky allowed?
1255x5min = a lot, great work 😉

Thanks Mabula, all 10 panels you mean? No i mostly shot data for 1 panel at a time, sometimes for 2 panels a night.

Okay, thanks 😉 do you plan to increase this field of view ? Or is this project now finished?
According to the writing on Astrobin, this is going to be bigger! 😱Â

The plan is to expand much further, there is not much high(er) resolution IFN data presented as a mosaic, so i think it could be an ideal contribution to the astro community.

😉 excellent and yes, there is a lot of IFN in a very wide field of view to be captured. It would make a very special image when you can expand this. Great idea.
