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.
EDIT by Mabula: this FITS READ error will be fixed from release 2.0.0-beta35.
Hi,
iTelescope.net has is providing FITS files for free (monthly "Premium Image Set").
I can not open the data provided in February and March anymore with APP.
When loading the files, this error occurs:
***********************************************
Astro Pixel Processor - 2.0.0-beta34
Oracle GraalVM 23.0.2+7.1 - Windows-64-bit
Encountered error in module:
FileDetailListUpdater
Error message:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.contains(java.lang.CharSequence)" because "<local14>" is null
Cause:
Cannot invoke "String.contains(java.lang.CharSequence)" because "<local14>" is null
oj.a(FitsImageDetails.java:200)
ol.a(ImageDetails.java:76)
oi.a(FileDetailListUpdater.java:727)
oi.doInBackground(FileDetailListUpdater.java:39)
***********************************************
Seems the FITS file do have something in the header which is not recognized by APP.
This happens with APP v2 beta29 and also with the current one (beta34).

Thanks for any hints.

Hi Jean-Marie @jmwill,
Good news, I have solved the issue. The files will now work properly from APP 2.0.0-beta35. I aim to release 2.0.0-beta35 before March 15th. I will try to let you know once the updated version is released, but you can check the forum and our downloads page to see if beta35 has been released 😉
- FIXED FITS READ error with MaximDL/iTelescope files
As reported in this thread https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/main-forum/error-encountered-when-opening-fits-files/#post-32412 , loading a fits file created by MaximDL from iTelescope gave a NullPointerException in the FileDetailListUpdater module. The error is caused by a FITS WRITE error in MaximDL we think. The problem files have 2 FITS HDU/Headers with the exact same content and image data and the 2nd header misses a required FITS tag XTENSION to indicate what kind of data the header has according to the FITS specification. APP will catch this error now and will still be able to read and process these files. Please note, because these files have twice the exact same image data, they are also twice as large as they need to be. We have informed iTelescope.net about this issue.

You are most welcome !
