Thanks, Ivo. I will do so when I am back at the observatory.

Hi Ivo, I just installed and tested v.1.4.328. Everything went well until I tried to save the final image which appeared as a.fts file. StarTools said it could only save as.tif file. Okay. So when I clicked on "save as" in my destination folder in my Windows 10 machine, it only gave me the option of...

Hi Ivo, I am running v.1.3 with Windows 10 64-bit.As recently as last week, all went fine, all of a sudden StarTools is not responding when I try to load a .fits image. I did get as far as binning, but then the same ".exe not responding" message. Michael Hamburg :think: Postscript: When I relaunched...

Hi Ivo,
The scale extraction would begin normally, then on or about the 4th iteration, the program would enter a continuous loop with the progress bar never proceeding more than about a quarter of the way to completion. Again, no problem with v.1.3.

Hi Ivo and all, All of a sudden while processing a file, the program hung up in the Denoise Module as it was doing the 6 iterations of scale extraction. Complete surprise to me. This issue did not show up in v.1.3. (I am also wondering if it is a problem with my computer.) Thanks for all input. Mich...

I inserted the license file, but I think that was not the problem. The program still hangs and gives me the "not responding" message. Then I get t...

When I try to open a 230 MB .FTS file StarTools hangs and becomes unresponsive. The file opens with Fitsworks but I want to use StarTools. Running Windows 10 on a Lenovo laptop with 8 gigs of RAM. The program won't open any of the files it has previously opened. Please help. Michael Hamburg :think: ...

Hello, After a successful stacking in DSS (image saved as .tif), StarTools will not open the file saying that it can not read it. This is the first time this has ever happened. The 1st one is of The Flame and Horsehead Nebulae; the second of The Rosette Nebula. The initial images from DSS look good....

Now running Windows 10 Pro and can open StarTools and even load a .fts file. However, what previously worked in Windows 7, no longer works. StarTools remains unresponsive. Anyone else having this problem and what's the fix?
