Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
Hello,
Last week I took a series of fotos of NGC281. The next night I did NGC281 with dual nawwor band filter.
Next day I noticed, that I can stack the RGB-lights without a problem, but when I try to stack the DNB-lights, APP closes without a message while the end phase of integration.
I thought the split to Ha might be the reason, but even with default setting, without any correction frames, it's still closing. Then I reduced the number of selected lights. 3 light of the center of the night could be stacked. But with the first 3 lights of the series it closed as well.
I prepared an archive with the first 3 files and the error-log, but it's 50MB.
The error log says, Java was out of memory. So I raised from 24 to 30 of 32 GB, but it still crashed.
Greetings
Marc
@catweazle74 Marc, can you upload your files to
https://upload.astropixelprocessor.com/
using as both username and password: upload
Please create a directory called catweazle74_crash and put the files in there. Let me know when the upload is done by replying to this message and I will have a look.
@catweazle74 Thanks Marc. I will need calibration files (dark, dark flat, flat, bias) as well. Can you please make sure that you upload a few of each so I can try a complete integration run? Thanks!
@wvreeven Ok, I uploaded a packet of 3 samples of each type. If you want to, I can upload the whole set on one drive.
I try integration 7-8 times with the full set of lights and calibration files. At this point I hardly missed a "Save project" button, because I had to start from scratch each time.
Later I skipped all calibration frames and only tryed to integrate some lights. Finaly I just loaded three lights and hit "Integrate"
Over two day I set the computer to hibernate, but did not reboot yet.
Meanwhile I tried lights of other sessions and had no problem.
@catweazle74 Hi Marc. I managed to integrate the three Lights using all calibration files that you uploaded without any issues whatsoever:
Can you try yourself with the three files and see if that works for you? FYI I loaded the three lights, flats, darks, dark flats and bias and then went straight to tab 6 and clicked the integrate button. No other changes in APP.
Well, yesterday it crashed with lights of an other session that already worked, too.
So, today I rebooted at first. And now everything is ok. The samples worked as well as the whole set. Seems like java needed a clean start.
Thank you for your help!
