@keesscherer,

Thank you for reporting this. I have done a lot of work in the registration engine to prevent this from happening in the future.

Basically, the amount of starpairs between the frames put limits on memory and cpu usage at the same time when the total amount of star pairs become bigger then a couple of 1000 star pairs.

Reason being,…[Read more]

Hi @mth75 & @supernov,

No scrolling implemented yet, since this is not needed currently.

But you can enable/disable the tooltips in the CFG menu from version 1.038 which I’ll try to release today ;-)

@whwang, not yet, but it’s on my list to set logging on in APP’s configuration menu. I’am also planning to show console output while APP’s working 😉

Thank you @keesscherer for this bug and usefull screenshot.

The screenshot shows that you have very high star counts (3000-4000). So I tried to register some frames with that high star counts and only 2GB of memory reserved to APP. I do get the same memory problem, so clearly there is a memory leak in the registration engine.The good news is,…[Read more]

Hi Mabula,

Thanks for the reply.  It is very fun to try APP and I see lot of potential.

I know that my Milky Way panorama is very challenging.  At this moment, no any other programs can go as far as APP has.  So even though the results above are not good enough yet, APP has already been far more successful than any other program.  It is rea…[Read more]

Does APP automatically send you (or save locally) a crash report every time it is crashed or forced to terminate?  It should be useful.

@bula Thanks again for all your effort. Your suggested strategy makes sense. Haven’t thought of that before.

I’ll send you the data (all the raw files) as soon as I’m behind my computer (I’m currently typing on my phone). I’ll probably give it another try myself next weekend.

Can you scroll the tooltips if they become too big? That would be nice, but for that I would have to move the mouse. Maybe it might be a nice idea to be able to do that and click outside to close them without a timer. And to be able to turn these on or off.

Is this practical in your opinion? Normally a tooltip only shows for 5-15 seconds.

Should be enough, PI shows 15s on hover.

@mauricetoet,

I am working on your data and I am testing a new algorithm. But, I clearly see some problems with the data, probably arising due to applying “dynamic distortion correction” already on the single panel integrations.

There are 2  workflows, that will probably give better results. Can you try any of these 2 if you have spare time, or…[Read more]

Hi all,

I am working on the tooltips as a simple and quick way to inform the user about all possible settings and when to use these.

I have set the current time for the tooltip to show at 60 seconds. So if you hoover over a button, the tooltip will show, and if you don’t move at all in 60seconds, the tooltip will dissapear. If you move the mouse…[Read more]

Hi @whwang,

Thank you again for your feedback.

“On the other hand, the registration is still terribly wrong. I increased the detected stars to more than 6000. Typical registration rms is between 1 and 3 and number of stars is less than half of the detected stars. For registration, I used dynamic distortion correction and calibrated projective,…[Read more]

Thank you @whwang,

I will test this using my macbook with attached monitors and hopefully fix this.
