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.
How do I combine data from two imaging sessions of the same target?
I have imaged M81 over two nights, but used different exposures between the two sessions so I need to use different dark frames and different flat frames along with the light frames. My first approach was to calibrate and stack two data sets independently, then stack two integrated frames. However, APP does not want to do that as when I select the two integrated frames and attempt to do anything APP reports 'no lights' and refuses to do anything.
What is the correct APP way to combine data from multiple imaging sessions of the same target when the calibration of the lights requires different calibration frames for the two sessions?

It is possible to load a previous integration as light, but in 1) LOAD you will need to disable the automatic recognition of Masters & Integrations 😉 I will try to make this easier in the next release.
But having said that, indeed do try to process all at once using the multi-session mode in 1) Load 😉
