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've obtained fairly low HWFM scoring subs using SGP's Framing and Mosiac Wizard (20% overlap) and have run them through to integration. Following Mabula's instruction on parameters in his great Mosaic tutorial, I've tried to integrate the four integrated files, to no avail. I even tried to run the integration with higher tolerances and more iterations of LNC & MBB. How can I understand better what requirements are not being met either in my lights, or in my integration settings?
Thank you,

As I've carefully analyzed these four integrated panels, I've noticed that my 20% overlap is missing for two of the frames. I can't determine star matches between them. They're very close but not overlapping! Looks like APP tried to do the same thing but failed to see a match. Chalk this one up to operator error! Learning... Must have been when I threw out some frames that didn't meet my FWHM criteria and I had to retake some. Time to shoot more lights.

Ouch yeah, that's the tricky part of overlap! You can take a 5th panel in the center so that you make sure everything can reference to it (and you'll have a cleaner core of the galaxy as a bonus)
Great you found that, looks like a very nice mosaic in creation!
@vincent-mod You're very generous Vincent! Thank you.
