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.
Good afternoon all.
This image was taken last night in breezy but also very cold conditions, here at SK11 Macclesfield UK
.
19x180 seconds at ISO 1600 using my Canon 600Da with my Optolong l-eNhance dual NB filter through my William Optics Z61.
Because of the poor weather of late. This is the only opportunity I have had to image this great Star birthing region. I hope it isn't my last.
The work carried out was undertaken using the latest release of APP. With additional work in PS CC2020.

Yes, lovely and cold nights we have at the moment. Nice image and colors! I would, maybe, get the background stretched a bit more as it's pretty dark now.

Thank you Vincent.
Do you have advice for stretching the background in APP? What tool in APP should I use for instance?
On the right-hand side you have the panel for the stretching. Just choose a slightly higher stretch to begin with;
