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. Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
I've been using APP for about 18 mos to pre-process my OSC images. I recently began post-processing with APP as well. This image was my first to integrate OSC (RGB) data with Ha and OIII extracts from using my new Optolong L-eNhance filter and ASI071MC Pro camera. The RGB data is from August 2018 and the narrowband data is from last night.

Very nice @ahbok, I would maybe stretch the background a bit more (making it less dark)
Thanks for the tip Vincent. I’ll give it a try!
I must learn to not reach for the black point slider too quickly. Thanks again Vincent. Did this overdo/underdo the stretch?
No, looks nice and you can see you had more signal underneath. Ofcourse you also get more noise, but I always say "that's part of the game".
