Hi everyone,

Having issues with being unable to use Photometric Color Calibration after updating my version of Pixinsight. In fact, I opened a project I created in the previous version of the same image I am processing and I still came across the same issue even though previously had been able to do this which is very odd!

The error message is below - have tried to play with the settings by changing the catalog, and changing the Log (Sensitivity) and the Automatic Limiting Magnitude. The detected star image that is generated shows essentially a noisy version of the image that is active.


===================================
Star search aperture: 8.63 pixels
1 view(s)
12 star(s)
0 PSF fittings
*** Error: Failure to process image file 'C:/Users/Toshiba - 355676/AppData/Local/Temp/PCC_B_T26JCM7MU0M1.xisf': Could not locate any stars in the image

*******************************
Photometry process finished:
   0 of 3 images processed successfully.
   3 images with errors.
   3 errors and warnings.

*** Error: Failure to calculate photometry: Image17
Reading swap files...
1619.118 MiB/s
<* failed *>
==========================================


Very odd!

Hope someone can assist.

Clear skies.

Ok so an update with this.

Increasing the limiting magnitude to 20 and the aperture to 15 in the photometry tab allowed me to make this work.

Quite odd!

But a happy camper.

Clear skies.
