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.
@mabula-admin Nice to read you Mabula and to be able to enjoy this beta 30 version.
My thoughts also go out to Vincent and his family, we can only wish him a speedy recovery and thank him for all he has done for APP. We can't wait for you to be back in shape to continue your contribution to this excellent astrophotography software.
I'm also one of APP's first users, and I've always believed that this application makes a difference. I still use it with great satisfaction and pleasure. What some people don't understand is that you're a perfectionist, Mabula, and you'd never release a version of APP that you weren't completely satisfied with... That's what makes you and APP such a great value.Â
Wish Mabula, Vincent and family, and APP all the best!

Dear @mabula-admin,
I'm glad to see updates flowing in regularly, as was the case before. I'm quite happy with the product.
It's so easy to complain... so please accept my congrats about the great work.
Best regards,
Rodolphe
Hi Rodolphe @rodolgo,
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback! It is our pleasure and we are also happy đŸ™‚ with the current situation. We aim to go further like this and give APP a great future.
Mabula
@vincent-mod Good luck & best wishes Vincent!
Thanks Timothy! All is still looking good fortunately. đŸ™‚
The auto-stretch function "Auto Under" overexposes bright highlights significantly. Can fix?"
Hi Dave @rustyd100,
Thank you very much for your question. Can you show a screenshot perhaps if what you are seeing? Without some visual guidance it is hard to understand what you are referring to. You can attach a normal screenshot in jpg or png without any problem.
Thanks,
Mabula
Hi @mabula-admin I saw last time new scripts on the social media called veralux and there was another new one, idk the name. It's for PI and siril.
But is this possible in your Astropixelprocessor?Â
Dear Stefan @stefanastro,Â
I have also seen that on Facebook for Siril. If you can refer me to the Veralux source, I will have a good look đŸ˜‰
After the 2.0.0 release we will soon work on better image stretching for sure.
Mabula
Hi Stefan @stefanastro,
Thank you very much. I have added this to my todo list to work on better stretching in APP after the upcoming 2.0 release đŸ˜‰
I need to make it more intuitive, color preserving and much faster for sure đŸ˜‰ so I will do major work on this after 2.0 for sure.
Mabula
