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.
I am trying to evaluate APP and my eval license expires in 15 days, so this is kind of urgent. I am attempting to create a mosaic out of 12 individual images. Everything seems to work fine until the very last step, when trying to save the resulting FITS image, APP crashes with the following error message: "file: C:\Astro\Mosaic\IC1805-RGB-session_1.fits - Encountered an Exception while saving...". I tried this multiple times and the result is always the same.Â
I am using Windows 11, 32GB RAM, 159GB free HDD space. My main intended use for APP is assembling large mosaics so this is a kind of a show stopper for me.Â
Any insight into what could be causing this and how to work around it would be highly appreciated.Â
I forgot to mention, APP version is 2.0.0-beta9_amd64
Dear Catalin @catalin59,
Thank you very much for reporting this issue.
Is there any reason that you are using the version 2.0.0-beta9_amd64?
Can you please try with the latest APP version 2.0.0-beta30 and let me know if all is okay then? You can download it here:
Astro Pixel Processor Windows 64-bit
https://appreleaseserver.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/latest-release/AstroPixelProcessor-latest-release-Windows-64-bit.zip
The file C:\Astro\Mosaic\IC1805-RGB-session_1.fits looks very normal in terms of characters, so it definitely should work. If it does not, maybe that location has a lock or you don't have proper access rights to that folder with the user that runs APP. Did you install APP for all users, or only for your own user? What happens if you try to save it somewhere in your documents folder or perhaps on another partition/harddisk?

@mabula-admin The reason I was using beta9 is because it was the first in the list, I did not realize it was inverse lexicographic order and there were newer versions down the list. I switched to beta30 and the probem went away. Thanks for the suggestion.Â
