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. Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
Are there any quality drawbacks when using higher degree order i LNC?

@digitaliz-se Hi Stefan,
When you hover your mouse cursor over the LNC degree select box, you will see the following info:
Does that answer your question?
Wouter
@wvreeven Not really. I was hoping to use 4th degree because I thought it would get better result than 1st. I assume that integration time and memory consumption will sufier instead.
/stefan
@digitaliz-se Yes, integration time will be longer. Memory not per say. The instructions indicate that you should start at 1st degree and slowly increase. It is impossible to say if your data will be better with 4th degree or not without trying.
Why do you want to use LNC and why at such a high degree?
@wvreeven More complex math to solve the problem should yield a better outcome. That is what I try to tell myself.
Just better flat illumination since I shoot in a polluted area all night and all directions differ in LP, espeically when doing multisessions and stacking with different telescopes and filters.
Just curious if it would yield better image quality. Hard to tell in the final stack before you really stretch it. I’ve had good results just using 1st order of LNC. I always use LNC even if I only stack one session using same equipment. I’ve found it to yield better result than not doing LNC.
