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 reduce the green in the background without affecting the galaxy?
Make sure you have neutralize background checked and you can either desaturate the green in selective cooler or if you bring it into Photoshop you can use HLVG, pull down the green channel in curves ro levels, or desaturate and darken the green channel in hue saturation.
Best is to make sure first that the image ia background calibrated, is it? The background neutralization is not what you want to use, this only serves as initial preview to get more or less gray backgrounds in your preview RGB images.
Once you have calibrated the background with the calirbate background tool (or remove light pollution tool) then load it into the HSL selective Color tool, select green push it to magenta (that neutralize it) and you can also desaturate the green color at the same time, so set saturation to negative as far as needed. That should remove it.
If you only wan to remove it in the background, use the range options like background to background + 3*noise, that should prevent the operation to affect the galaxy.
