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. Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
This may have already been posted and I missed, it but I'll post this in case. Charles Bracken - the author of astronomy books including Deep Sky Imaging Primer - is "big fan of APP" and has posted a Quick Start Guide to APP. You can get it here: https://digitalstars.wordpress.com/2020/09/19/an-astropixelprocessor-quick-start-guide/
edit from Vincent; this is a 3rd party workflow, but from an experienced source. 😉
Nice! Thanks for sharing.
This is a great quick-start guide and should be prominently posted for anyone just starting with APP! Wish I'd had this when I was first started working with APP.
Cool! I'll make it a sticky in the workflow section of the forum.
Just purchased it after trialing it for some time , getting ok results but think its more my light pollution and gradients thats making it difficult ?
The quick start guide certainly helped along with a couple of videos i watched.
Picked this over Pixinsight for relative simplicity for a relative newby like me.

Good to hear, thanks for your purchase @cliff99, very much appreciated! You can always open a topic if there is something you'd like help with.
Just wanted to say thanks for posting the link. It has been a help to both inform and confirm how I’m doing things. It’s amazing what you learn doing astro processing.
