  1. Dan, I wanted to check in with you that you actually got the files. I understand you are busy and I want to be sure I have taken care of my part. Andy
  2. PS My second post above includes the info that was in the email.
  3. Dan, my apologies. I failed to hit the download button. The files should be there now. Andy
  4. I replied to your email and I think you didn't get it. I posted a couple of days ago. Dan, No worries about response. I am glad you guys are busy. It is so good to see photoshop having serious competition! I posted the files to dropbox (pic below). Please note, the CR3 files were made at the same time as the fits files (that's what the asiair does). I sent all the files in case it matters. The Lights 3Full Spec includes 2 files taken before the meridian and 3 after so it would be the hardest case as the files are rotated. All the rest line up. Before sending this email I tried the CR3 files again and they gave me the same message, failure to stack (the same message I got for all 4 folders). Just to reiterate, I tried Sequator to stack and had no problems. And, I tried 2 earlier versions of Affinity as well as the current (2.5.3) and same problem, failure to stack. Hope this gives you what you need. I really was surprised to have this problem. For the last 2 years I have used Photo 2 exclusively to stack except when I do nightscapes of the Milky and have to use Sequator to do the foreground correctly. Maybe one day you will add this capability to Photo 2 to handle foregrounds for nightscapes. Thanks, Andy And, here is my comment from today: Hello again, I thought I should update you. Last night I shot the NA Nebula. I took 18, 10 minute shots and it included a meridian flip. I also took flats. It stacked fine, but these shots were at 600mm using an asi2600MC pro camera. Everything stacked fine so I am guessing the problems had to do with shooting at 90mm. Anyway I look forward to what you learn.
  5. Hello, This is a weird problem because I have stacked these types of files many times in Photo2 (I even went back and tried 2.3 and 2.4.1 in addition to the most recent). The error message I get is the images will not align. The pics that won't stack are a very wide field of view (of the Sadr region). I took the pics with a 90mm lens using a Canon R (and asiair). The pics were dithered. I have tried 4 different sets of pics (3 sets of fit files from an asiair and 1 set of CR3s from the camera). None of them will stack. When you look at the pics individually in affinity they all line up perfectly. I even tried stacking with 2 files and they still would not align. Any ideas how I could problem solve this. It is very perplexing and frustrating (especially given I have done all my stacking with Affinity for 2 years). BTW I also tested the stacking using Sequator and they all stacked fine. The files are too large to attach. I could put them in dropbox or something, but would not want to make the link public. Andy
  6. I found that as stated above it must be an uncompressed file that you export from affinity so you must use the advanced option when exporting a tif. Set it to 16bit and be sure that none is specified under compression (v2.0.4). Also be sure the extension is .tif not .tiff. If you don't export as uncompressed it will look like starnet++ is processing fine, but it will create an all black image. I ran the test file included with the download to prove to myself that Starnet++ was working.
  7. So, guess I better ask another question. I just bought photo 1.10 a couple of months ago (running on my w10 desktop). It will run on my W7 laptop correct?
  8. It is my understanding that I cannot use a .msix to install on w7 laptop. Hope do I do it. Also, it seems like you would avoid a lot of the problems you are currently encountering if you would just provide a .exe to install from (instead of .msix).
