Deep sky stacker out of memory

Windows Page file size? RAM size, 32 or 64 bit? From: DeepSkyStacker groups. Hello- Just captured some new data this weekend. Not as much as I had hoped - so I'm only really stacking about a dozen or so images. Went through the entire process, stacking seems to be going well - then right before it completes, I get an error box reading simply "Out of Memory"??? This is a brand new laptop, nothing else running on it even turned off AV - at least 12GB of available ram and loads of disc space. I just upgrade to the latest version. But I've complete far more advanced projects then this, on a much older and more clunky tower, and have never received this message. I made sure to Register everything, compute offsets, and exclude bad subs which is why I only have about a dozen..

I don't have DSS to compare, so can't comment on that one. Leave a comment Cancel reply. Processing Tab The processing tab contains the commands and features pertaining to post processing.

How could adding calibration frames quadruple the stacking time? Any ideas or suggestions or tips to speed up the process?? Try reducing the star detection threshold , to say 25, and run the lights again to compare with the previous time taken. Yep, Star Detection can increase the total time by a lot. Which can give about 60 stars depending on the object. Just finished stacking Took 6hrs 20 minutes Has anyone else had over 6hrs to stack that amount of data inc calibration frames?? Thanks Martin.

So you are having fun under the stars taking tons of images of the night sky, and now you need to process them? Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned astrophotographer, Deep Sky Stacker is a great starting point. So instead, we will explain in detail the workflow and let you experiment with the setting. Click here to skip to our walkthrough on using DSS. Deep Sky Stacker, DSS for short, is a commonly used software for doing image calibration and image stacking of astrophotography images. Despite being a free software, DSS offers a complete set of advanced settings and methods and is also one of the fastest calibration and stacking software for deep sky imaging. Two versions of DSS are available: the bits version, ideal for old computers and Windows tablets, and the bits version, which is your best option when working with modern computers. Unfortunately, as often the case with freeware astrophotography software, DSS is Windows only.

Deep SkyStacker is an excellent, and free, software program written by Luc Coiffier that will align, calibrate, and combine, or "stack", a series of individual deep-sky exposures. It can be downloaded at:. It is reasonably simple to use, but can be a bit confusing for beginners because of its many settings. It can also be surprisingly sophisticated for more advanced users. We will cover the basics in this article to get you started.

One of the standing problems with Deep Sky Stacker has been the lack of a 64bit version. Posted March 12, The modifiable offset for each channel middle cursor. Simply put the parameters are the angle and power of the curve for each point. This tab is used to control the creation of intermediate files. You can select extra stars or deselect the ones DeepSkyStacker detected by left clicking with the mouse. This is the only way to pan and to zoom. I might start with the peg. Forgot your password? Make sure you have the latest version of DSS, make sure drizzle isnt selected. The RGB histogram is used to visualize for each channel R, G and B the red, green and blue pixels distribution in the picture. Your pics all look great. Posted August 19, You're actually modifying the executable, so this is post-compile time stuff. The user interface is divided into two areas: To the left a set of tabs gives access to all the commands and features.

Already have a WordPress. RAW Files The parameters are:. Post by bobharmony » Sun Jul 28, pm Thanks again Bob! The column widths order will be reloaded the next time DeepSkyStacker is used. You should note that in all modes the offsets are computed from the reference frame, so it's not a true mosaic mode but a pseudo mosaic. The RGB levels adjustment may be done independently for each channel or for all the channels at the same time when the "Linked settings" option is checked.. Stardust Posted February 12, I stumbled upon this last night after not imaging for a couple weeks due to weather. Are you sure you wish to delete this message from the message archives of DeepSkyStacker groups. Cancel Report. For imaging: Orion 8" astrograph mm F3. The star mask is always created from the image as you see it in DeepSkyStacker which means with the current adjustments applied. The slightly slower speed really doesn't bother me, as long as the optics are good. The second option may be used to create a file containing the calibrated and registered image for each light frame.
