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.
What am I doing wrong. Or is it something that my capture software is doing (SharpCap). Below is what my fits file and ending tiff file looks like on screen.
 Update, I processed in Deep Sky Stacker and the end result was a non-stretched single frame. So I don't think it is the capture software.
Thanks for the FITS file. The FITS header indicates that the Bayer pattern is GBRG with a note that some software need RGGB. Please make sure to set it to that Bayer pattern in tab 0. It looks like DSS needs that as well since the colors of the image that you stretched in Gimp are off. Can you give that a try in APP and see if that improves the stack?

I saw that too, Made the change.No difference. Still 4 boxes
Could you try the almost funny trick of restarting the computer? And if that still doesn't work, what does switching off of OpenGL do (the button on top of APP).
Not for me. When I load the FITS as a light and then double click on it in APP, so it opens in the image viewer, it looks like a normal, square image to me.

Clicking the OpenGL box fixed it!! Thanks So Much!!! Do you know why that may have been causing the issue?
Great! So that may be a number of things, like having an Intel gfx driver together with another, conflicting. Or your driver is out of date, things like that. Or your gfx card doesn't support openGL4 properly.
