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.
Title pretty much says it. I'm working on a multi-night Eagle Nebula project, and the Moon is a factor for a couple of the nights. I can perceive some gradients in the image, but there is almost no simple background to place boxes on. ????

I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago with a mosiac that was full milky way brightness in the bottom half and sparse nebulae in the top half. I was worried that the LPR tool would wreck my image, but it actually worked pretty well.
What worked for me was:
- Crank the stretch right up to maximum so that you can see everything (don't worry if it looks like garbage)
- Start with about six small boxes around the edge. Don't worry too much about hitting nebulosity where that's hard to avoid
- Look at the correction model. You will want it to smoothly eliminate the moon gradient, but initially it will be a bit off.
- Start an itreative process of placing small selection boxes where there is reduced nebulosity and the correction model looks wrong. Rinse and repeat 😉Â
I had to do this about 10-15 times before I was happy with the result, but it worked pretty well. Actually a lot better than I expected.
