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.
Was following the tutorial for mosaics but got this during register

Encountered error in module:
MultipleViewDistortionAndCalibrationTask
Error message:

1.083-beta4 on Linux Mint 20.2

The crash was with scale start at 5 and stop at 12 as per the tutorial but changing these to 1 and 15 made the crash go away.

I eventually managed to get the mosaic to work but only by changing some recommended settings and increasing the stars target to 1000. Made the CPU roar for quite a while even though there were only 29 subs.
The results was less than brilliant, loads of weird artefacts and not much like the individual stacks I made externally so I think I will stick with butt joining my mosaics in Gimp.
It was good to test though, thanks for letting me have a go.

I think you haven't switched on MBB and LNC, that will blend the panels nicely and very accurately. It's one of the best features APP has. 🙂 So I'd advice to give it another shot.
Hi Franco @altaloma,
Indeed, like Vincent indicates, you need to enable MBB and LNC in 6) to get a nicely blended and seamless mosaic 😉 !

Thanks, I'll try again tomorrow.
I tried the settings you suggested but with the 4 prestacked panes as input and got something that looks much better than my first effort. I'm sure with a bit of experimentation it could be a lot better still.
The 2 lower panes were after a flip and the tracking wasn't great so only got a few good mages, plus I think I caught some moon beams.
This looks like a great piece of software but way too advanced for me at this stage, I've only recently started astrophotography - as you no doubt can tell!
Cheers,
