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.
Hi,
i´ll have a nice data set of a TwoPanel Mosaic with a 510mm Refractor. It´s LRGB Data with one and the same CCD Camera/Flats/Darks/Bias etc.
Can i do the processing in one go? Saw Mabulas Tutorial, but as this data Sets are so differently, he might be first calibrate all on its own. If,like in my case, the Data Set is consistent, would it a be possible to calibrate and stack it in one go in Mosaic Mode?
CS Frank
Yes it is possible to do that. However, star analysis and registration may take a long time depending on the number of lights. In my experience, stacking the subs separately and then creating the mosaic is much faster but it requires more manual intervention.
Wouter
Thank you Wouter,
yes, its working now and it seems to take a lot of time and processing power. In between i got a black screen, i think the Laptop overheated a bit.
I was confused because i thought it might be clever to reduce the data in a Multisession Set. So Two Sets of Lights, one Set of Calibration Frames. But after Star Analysis, APP choosed just one Frame as Reeference. This made me a bit unsecure.
So if i do it seperately, i should do that as well in Single Mode for each Data Set?
Cs Frank
Hello Astrophotocologne, with a two-panel mosaic you can calibrate everything at once and then stacken.
The registration should be done in normal mode.
For star analysis, set the value to 2000-2500, depending on the overlap of the panels.
Alternatively, calibrate and stack each panel to a session. Then process the stacked panels in mosaic mode.
Best regards Henry
Hell Henry,
thank you,well that Link says it all. I thought i´m treating my data very well if i fully run the whole show in mosaic mode, but this is not the case i see now 🙂
Thank you!

That depends on your data but from what you described before I think yes.
Wouter
Yes, integrating the panels of the mosaic first and then creating the mosaic is better. This is because when using only all subs, the statistics behind this algorithm will go through the roof making it very complex and taking a long time.
Thanks for all the answers,
now i´ve did a run through as you recommended and it worked perfectly fine and pretty fast. Its just a TwoPanelMosaic, so the next Goal ist to create larger Mosaics. With Two Panels it might be even work if i don´t use the Mosaic Mode? I think Mabula mentioned this in one of his Videos!?
CS Frank
It probably will yes, if the overlap is ok. Never really used it in that way though myself, clearly separated panels I already call a mosaic. I'm not sure, but using the mosaic settings may give you beter registration precision. You can check if this is the case by comparing the RMS values in the table.
