Which one of the 80 pictures failed
« on: 2014 September 01 18:34:53 »
===== StarAlignment: 71 succeeded, 6 failed, 3 skipped =====

OK great! Now which ones were they?

Does PI have the capability to list the good one or bad ones at the end? I would hate to have to wade through a few 100 to try to figure out which one fail and why. I looked at the 80, checked off 3 that were bad. The others appear to be the same as each other. No obvious defects. Process Console does not go back far enough to review the entire job.

You should be able to tell which images aligned by looking at the filenames of the registered images.

You can also direct the log to a file and review the whole history.  Type "log --help" in the Process Console.

How do you mean? I reviewed the file names and they are all the same. Other then the FIT at the end I can not see any differences.

I typed log -f=/home/desktop after reading the man page for log. It stated that this would add a log file in the area wanted. It did not do this.

I was able to watch the log and identify the individual files that were the issue and remove them and also reduced the star count down to 75 allowed for a better result. I now have a complete stack of 75 of 75.

Logging works fine for me.  I just tried it again with the command "log -f=/users/rick/tmp/pi.log" and it worked as advertised.  Did you get an error message?  Do you have permission to create a file in /home/desktop?

Cheers,
Rick.

The only clue I had was a error message about the directory being not there. That little bit of code you wrote was the confirmation that I had written it right. I modded it to go to tmp and I now have a log to look at. Is this a permanent change or only for the current session?
I ended up using "log -f=/tmp/pi.log"

Thanks
