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. Â Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
Hi
I have just put together my first mosaic using APP and it was reasonably successful. This was of 6 panels of the sky covering the Veil Nebula system. I used the same system / settings for each of the panels.Â
For the mosaic I just used the common calibration files, darks, flats, etc. added all the lights and set the processing going.
However I would like to include data of that area of the sky taken at earlier times using different cameras/scopes.
Firstly is this possible?
Secondly, if so, how is the calibration done. Do all the lights have to be pre-calibrated independently before the subsequent processes?
Thanks in anticipation

@thedwo Hi Frank,
Firstly is this possible?
Yes, this is possible.
Secondly, if so, how is the calibration done. Do all the lights have to be pre-calibrated independently before the subsequent processes?
There are several approaches to this.
One possibility is to process all data of the different telescopes separately. Once done you can load all integration results as lights into one session (no calibration data since that already was applied) and go to tab 6 and click the "integrate" button.
Another possibility is to process the data of the different telescopes together in one go. You can then load the lights and calibration files per telescope in separate sessions and then go to tab 6 and click the "integrate" button. Depending on the APP version you are using and whether you combine mono and color data, this may or may not work. Also, all individual lights will be aligned with each other which can potentially take a long time and require many system resources depending on the number of lights. It may be easier and safer to go for the first option.

Thank you, that was very helpful.
I'll give it a go.
