Happy Holidays Astro IIDC Group,

I have recently started imaging again and have run into an issue that I have not been able to resolve. Hopefully someone here can help.  When stacking and aligning frames using multiple alignment areas, Astro IIDC quits unexpectedly. Sometimes it quits while stacking regions and sometimes after stacking all regions. This is new as in the past I could use 30 or more areas without any problem. Same old macbook pro and snow leopard. I've set the alignment parameters to the least stringent requirements, tried various sized and number of areas, and have read the help file numerous times. Trashing the prefs and reinstalling the program had no effect. Obviously, I'm missing something. The curious thing is that it did align and stack  successfully three times out of hundreds of attempts. Why??? What did I do right?

By now you are probably smiling at my dilemma but I would really appreciate any suggestions. 

Thanks,

Phil

p.s. Milton, was there a Christmas card print this year?
