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.
I shot a three-panel mosaic of the heart and Soul nebulae over two nights with my C8 Hyperstar, first HaO3 and then S2O3. The three frames were virtually identical both nights and had large overlap, so I could integrate each night without even needing mosaic mode.
The integrated images for each night look great and very similar (1 and 2). However, when I try to register them so I can do a RGB combine, they just won't comply. Either the stars are very visbly off on part of the image (Image 3, see top of image), or the system creates a ridiculously distorted image (Image 4). I have now just about varied every parameter I can think of, and I get one of these two outcomes, or a variation thereof. What am I doing wrong ???

Hi @heylers,
The key here is that you register all data at the same time to a mosaic. So first make the mosaic panels, 3 per filter like you indicate, that creates 6 panels, right?
Then load those 6 panels as lights and register them as a mosaic, that should work and should not create the complicated issue of trying to register previously registered mosaics which is much more complicated.

It's how I usually did it and it worked beautifully again. I won't try registering a mosaic as a mosaic again - I guess the distortions in a mosaic, although slight, are pretty complicated to calculate out 😉Â
