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.
While attempting a really basic 2x2 mosaic and during the Registration process I'm getting a Java related error. I originally tried this mosaic by loading all my 40 subs (10 x 4 panels), OSC camera... really simple. I always got stuck in Registration about 80%. Sometimes I got an error with some recommendation that did really help. Then I processed all 4 panes individually having 4 integrated .fits files. I attempted to do the mosaic with just this 4 .fits and I got the java error. It seems that no matter what I cannot do a simple mosaic. Please see the screen shot with the java error attached. I'm running 2023-04-17: APP 2.0.0-beta17 in a Silicon M2 MAC.

The best way to process a mosaic, is to first create the mosaic panels (so you end up with 2 panels in the end). Then load these panels in again as lights and set APP up to perform the mosaic.
- Amount of stars to 1500
- Scale start to 5, scale stop to 10
- Dynamic distortion correction on (off if that creates weird artifacts)
- Same camera/optics off
- Registration mode to mosaic
- Normalization to advanced
Are you doing it this way already? If not, please try this.
@jberganzooutlook-com, thank you for confirming it did work after several tries. Can you share which setting adjustment made it work?
