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.
Analyse Stars was failing with an Error: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException  -- cause: null  no stack trace.
The frame it was failing on is blank (all white pixels), obviously an error to include, but you may want to catch this error.
Thanks!

Hi Rowland @rowland-f-archer-jr,
Thank you for sharing this problem. I will make sure to catch this properly in the upcoming APP version 1.060 😉

Hi Rowland @rowland-f-archer-jr,
The issue is found and will be properly fixed in APP 1.060 😉
Thank you again for pointing this out.
Kind regards,
Mabula
Thanks Mabula - really looking forward 1.060 - and hoping that multi-channel processing (i.e. like PI's BPP) will follow soon after 🙂 ! Â

Thank you Rowland @rowland-f-archer-jr,
APP 1.060 will have a complete new data calibration engine including dark-scaling. This upgrade was needed for several reasons. One which is to prepare APP internally for making multi-channel & multi-session processing fully automatic 😉
So, APP will soon have those capabilities 😉 The work on APP 1.060 should be finished in a week or so.
The new data calibration engine will warn users in case of incomplete and/or sub-optimal calibration paths and it will automatically match masterframes to light and flat frames.
Black clipping in bias and dark calibration combinations will also no longer happen.
So a lot of improvements are in store soon 😉

That sounds great! I have data ready to throw at it 🙂 !
