Hi people,
Can I ask for some advice please?
I’ve just started the processing process on a second image after completing my first one.
I'm right at the start of the process doing image integration.
As I'm a little slack I'm using the same calibration files (darks, bias and flats) as I did on the first image (without any issues) and I got the following error message on the second image:
ImageCalibration: Global context

<* failed*>
As I used the files on the first image with no issue I’m perplexed as to why I would be getting an error message now.
I tried doing another calibration of a flat file and using that instead of my original one and that too came up with the same error message.
Cheers.
