Yes indeed... I have little time the last few years, but every now and then I try to image a bit ;)

Hi Dodi,

Welcome to the group didn't I know you over on the TMB group several  

years back?

Hi Milton,

As soon as the stacking is finished, I will capture it. The mac is  

still crawling on now, don't want to interrupt anything for the  

moment. Do I send it to you or post it? Not sure how big the log  

file will be. Haven't looked at it yet.

We need to see your resulting Stacking log file to see what options

your using to even make a guess at what your doing.

Hi,

I am new to Astro II DC, coming from a Windows PC, now working  

with

Mac for astrophotography. All seems to work fine, but the stacking

is very slow compared to eg Registax on Windows. I tried Mars

tonight, which takes a very long time to stack out of film of 3000

images. I am using a dual core 2.6Ghz notebook pro.

I tried to speed it up by making the selection region for  

sharpness

estimates the center quadrant, and next selecting a user selected

area for stacking of small size. The initial sharpness estimation

goes very fast, but the stacking itself crawls through the movie.

Am I missing something? Doing something wrong?
