Hi, is there any way around to situation illustrated in the attached screenshot?
You could zip and send it by email:

Above is an image so you have to type the email address manually.
If it too big share and bounces back, share it by a google drive link (public share with link) or something similar.

Yes that is too much. I have not seen that for a long time. Are you using a recent copy of ASTAP?
There is no setting for this. Can you attach the image fits/dsrl file to your replay and I will have a look. Once I have it I will delete it from the forum.

Hi,
I updated astap, but same result. Is there a private way to share the file with you? It was captured at a private observatory as part of a partnership between them and my club, and we have not yet worked out details of public data sharing (sorry!).
Hi Ron,
I found the problem. The fix is to set the maximum of stars back to 500. See screenshot below.
If set it to a low value like 100 or lower, the star detection find 20000 stars or more. Cause, for tilt measurement is is searching for 500 but the detection level initially does not find enough and it goes in a deep search and find too many. I will fix it in the code for next version.
