Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
I am attempting a 9 panel mosaic and it has been stuck at 80% on registration for over an hour and 15 minutes. I stacked the panels individually and put them in APP like I normally do and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere at all. This is with beta 25. Any ideas?

Okay, I stopped it and manually increased the star registration to 2500 and it worked.
Hi @imnewhere,
Glad to read that it worked with bumping up the star count detection 😉 I see from yoru screenshot that less than 500 stars were detected in the failed attempt, right?
If you have a mosaic, the stars that are present in the overlap areas determine of we can register the mosaic panels. So by bumping up the star count, we will detect more stars in those overlap areas which greatly increases that chance of success for the mosaic registration. It is on our issue list as well, that we will create new mosaic algorithms which will automatically fix this. So if too little stars are detected, it will try to detect more stars and make it a success. So going forward, we will improve this considerably for sure.

It actually ended up pretty decent for 3 hours and 36 minutes worth of 30s exposures split between 9 panels https://www.astrobin.com/w2d4eb/
@mabula-admin Since doing that I've done a couple more mosaics with it too and all seems well. Even managed to get an Astrobin Top Pick with one of them.
