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 everyone, I am attaching images of three menus. I would like to know which are the best options to select to work images from ASI071 RGGB, in order to have the best result?
Last question: where should I go (if you can), to reduce the size of the stars?
Clear skies to all.

I used to use Bayer drizzle with the default settings above and drop size of 2 as recommended by Mabula. However, mosaics with drizzle turned on were too big to process in a timely way.  Here's a 2 panel of the California Nebula I recently finished.
Star reduction starts at the telescope by trying to not saturate the brightest stars. I post process using Startools which does an OK job, but there is another standalone program called Starnet++ that is supposed to be very good. I've downloaded, but not tried it yet.Â
