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.
Can somebody please tell me why this is happening in Astro pixel processor ???? All my images are from the same night and I didn't have stacking problems with APP in the past. What's happening here??! Thanks
@wilderkaiser2021 We will need more info to be able to help you. What version of APP are you on? What operating system? How much memory does your computer have? Are you working on an external SD? What video card does your computer have?
Depending on your answers to these questions we may have more 🙂

Hello Wouter,
First of all thank you so much for the quick response. I am using APP version 1.082. My OS is mac os Mojave. My computer (MacBook air) has 8gb of ram. All my data is on an external hard drive just for astrophotography photos, so I connect the hard drive to my laptop while processing. I've watched many tutorials and I'm fairly sure I'm using the correct settings but any advice would help greatly!.
Best Regards,
Ulrich
Also, I don't know if this helps but I have 71 Images total. When I stack only 10 photos at a time, the weird banding goes away. This only happens when I try to stack all 71 images in one session. :/

Hi Ulrich,
Thanks for the quick reply. Is the external drive an SD or SSD? If the first then that likely is the issue. The drive isn’t fast enough to keep up with the huge amount of I/O generated by APP. Can you choose a Working Directory on the internal drive and see if that solves the issue?

Hello Wouter,
The external drive is an SSD but an old one. I put my files on my computers hard drive and tried again and now the problem is gone. So as you said maybe my drive isn’t fast enough to keep up with the huge amount of I/O generated by APP. Nevertheless, problem solved for now. Thank you!
Ulrich
