Awesome, thanks! On Thu, Nov 26, 2020 at 3:10 PM han.k han59@users.sourceforge.net wrote: Found the fix. Download and install this development version 0.9.457: http://www.hnsky.org/astap_setup.exe The problem was in the background noise calculation. For this it takes a selection of pixels at a specific step size. The step size was even value resulting that only red or green pixels where measured. I added an extra check for an odd step size so that all colour pixels are sampled. Clear skies, Han Analyzing...

Han, Here is the link to 2 of the fits files. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EL2vRiyrzLnctmcpTpW-XZJTs8NOcuy6?usp=sharing On Wed, Nov 25, 2020 at 5:05 PM han.k han59@users.sourceforge.net wrote: It looks like a checkerboard because it is a raw image. 5544x3684 should normally not take 30 seconds.

They are 40mb fits files from a OSC QHY183c camera 5544x3684. I think one of the evenings my guiding wasn’t very good. And I know another evening there were some clouds coming in and out. When I look at the separate image files, some of them have a cross pattern on them. Kind of looks like a checkerboard or a tartan. But they are all slow. Nothing takes 5 seconds. I’ll try to upload a couple of examples to Google drive and send you a link. On Wed, Nov 25, 2020 at 2:40 PM han.k han59@users.sourceforge.net...

I am still in the middle of doing the analyze that’s taking a long time. I’ve noticed that images are now taking about 30 seconds to analyze. These images were taking over several nights. The really slow ones seem to be on one specific evening. Is 30 seconds closer to what I should expect?

I’ve loaded about 300 images to stack into ASTAP, each image is taking over a minute to analyze. Is there a setting that has been changed, or something I can do to speed things up?
