    Hi Hans

    I have been having trouble uploading AAVSO Data to a new system they are introducing at the end of the month. They have corrected the first problem themselves. But the latest trouble, for which I got a reply, seems to be one where "we" could probably solve. When I say 'We' I mean probably you Hans. I have no programming skills !!

    I'm attaching the file.... error received and the reply which contains the suggestion to solve it.
    Could you have a look at it and perhaps a solution will be obvious to you.

    I'm attaching the file....

    Thanks

    There reply...….

    Hi Aengus,

    Thanks for sharing the file. Is there a way you could move this to a separate line comment, remove it, or add it to the observation notes?

    (Online Gaia -> auto, aperture=max HFD, annulus=10 HFD)

    Hi Aengus,

    No problem, I will shorten it. Moving the text to comments filed is probably better since it is the same message every time.

    Cheers, Han

    Fixed in development version 2025-1-12. The new AAVSO application did not like the long software information:

    SOFTWARE=ASTAP, v2024.06.29 (Online Gaia -> auto, aperture=max HFD, annulus=10 HFD)

    I have moved the "Online Gaia -> auto, aperture=max HFD, annulus=10 HFD" to the notes section of eache measurement. According the AAVSO documentation this can contain serveral thousend characters and they even recommend to add extra notes:
    https://www.aavso.org/aavso-extended-file-format

    You can download the new ASTAP development version for Windows here:
    https://www.hnsky.org/astap_setup.exe

    But I will release a new version for all operating systems later this day.

    Cheers, Han
