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,
please forgive me, if this topic has been addressed bevore. I am just curious, why not intergrate "the normal way" and do the mosaic afterwards with the integrated frames? I've done some test with a 4-panel mosaic from cirrus complex using the mosaic registration with over 200 subs. It took over 4 hours to do the mosaic. Whereas it took half an hour to do the mosaic with the already integrated panels. I have just loaded the panels as lights, switched on mosaic-registration and did an integration. Well, I know, there is no real data to stack this way, but it seems to work.
So, I guess, its more precise to do the reg with all the subframes and stack together the whole mosaic, am I wrong?
CS,

I think you’re actually explaining what indeed is the best way to create a mosaic. 😉 Just creating a mosaic with all subs is not the way to go, the analysis on those becomes very complex and takes a long time. The best way is, like you figured out, to first create the panels separately and then creating a mosaic with those. I would still advice to have at least 20-30 subs per panel though, so the rejection algorithms work the best.
One thing I would say is:
if you have very large overlap between panels, doing the integration with individual frames will still improve the blending (if you enable blending and with a relatively large blending %). But being able to remove light pollution from the individual panels prior to composing the mosaic is also a big advantage. So your mileage might vary...
