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 took more data on NA nebula. Oiii and sii.
I loaded all frames from Ha panel one into hydrogen alpha, and l frames from Ha panel 2 under custom and typed in hydrogen alpha-2, same with other 2 channels.
Loaded darks, flats and dark flats and hit normalize.Â
Â
Many frames didn't register... some were panel 1 and some panel 2, so not sure what went wrong....should I load all Ha into Ha even if they are 2 panels?
Â
I assumed I had to register all frames together...regardless of 2 panels.Â
Â
Please help!

Hi Adam @singding,
No, you need to load all H-alpha frames of all panels as H-alpha. You shouldn't assign a different channel name for H-alpha of another panel. It's all H-alpha 😉
So you are trying to make a multi-channel mosaic right?
What settings did you use in 3) and 4) ? And how many stars were detected in your frames?
For a mosaic registration you need a bit different settings than the defaults, so let me know what settings you used and then I can give you some pointers.
Cheers,
Mabula
So it's a 2 channel "mosaic" or integration with 10% overlap. Ha oui, and sii.
Â
So I shouldn't make each channel and each panel a separate integration then and then integrate the panels after?
I tried the recommended settings, lowered kappa all the way, upped the start and stop?
I apologize I can't access the computer now, but I did try a few settings.
Â
When I did my hargb, I did each panel separate, then combined them after....
Â
Hope this helps for now. Basically registration failed for many frames that appeared ok..500 to 800 stars I think
