Anyone else experiencing the astrophotography stacking hangs in V2.3.1?


Recommended Posts

Hi

I have tried to stack different light files with different kinds of settings. But they all keep stopping a third into the stacking and nothing furter happens..
Anyone else having this problem?

Best regards

Lars

Hi @Rathjeand Welcome to the Forums,

How many images are you stacking?

Can you try clicking Edit>Settings>Performance and if Hardware Acceleration is ticked, untick it and close Settings and you'll be asked to restart Affinity.  Once restarted, try stacking again and see if it gets any further.

I have tried both around 500 and around 1000 images. Hardware acceleration is active.

But I tried another stacking program and it told me it couldn't identify enough stars, so maybe it's just my data this time? I have also been told that Affinity is slow and not that well with many images.

The problem is more then, that Affinity doesn't tell what is wrong. It just hangs. I think I will continue by stacking in another program like DeepSkyStacker and then continue the post processing in Affinity.

But thanks a lot for the suggestions.

Lars
