Win11 Gaia XPSD Database Error?

[ftherrmann]

I just read the thread involving the fellow using a Mac system which got resolved by reverting to a previous release.

I have the same problem on Win11.

I've defined the Gaia database in the same way I did with the last major release version and also used the same database files. The plate solve works, but SPCC is broken. See attached image with the Gaia definition and error.

Any ideas as to how I fix this?

TIA

Fred

Problem solved... I forgot to configure the Gaia DR3/SP database.. Please feel free to delete the post.. Thanks.. Fred

Hi @ftherrmann

Just a clarification for people who might read this thread: it should not be necessary to reconfigure the Gaia databases (DR3, DR3/SP) after a new release of pixinsight.
If the files are placed outside the Pix installation directory, the update will be completely transparent and will not require any intervention.

This was not a reconfigure. It was a configure. This was a fresh install on a new PC. i9, gaming GPU, loads of memory, etc..... I'm certain the info is buried somewhere, but allow me to make it clear that the DR3 database contains star location coordinates and is for plate solving and the DR3/SP contains star color data for SPCC. At least that's how I infer the use of the two databases.

QUESTIONS:

When new areas are added to the Multiscale Gradient Correction database will they be announced/released as an addendum to the existing database?

I've seen a couple of images showing areas that are gradient mapped and areas that have yet to be mapped. Is there a simple method of finding out if a certain ra/dec/fov is included other than running the MGCD and having it fail?

PS: I used MGCD last night and I like it.

This will most certainly be announced on this forum.

To my knowledge there is currently no way to check if an image is included in the Mars database (other than the cover images already published)
But in this message: https://pixinsight.com/forum/index....for-developers.24216/page-2#convMessage-33397 Vicent stated that there will be a tool to do this in the future.
