The snap animation move was 👌🏼. No matter what you do someone will want something different 😂. Thanks for the diagnostic video this type of stuff is great for the community.

I have been using PCs since the dawn of time; we're talking about a Compaq 286 DeskPro and DOS 2.0. In that time, I have never seen an upgrade process that is as trepidicous as Pixinsight.

[@dadwhitsett]

still haven't upgraded from 1.8.9-1 as a result

[@monteroder2708]

Good stuff...as usual Sascha

[@omarlorentz99]

HI
congratulations for the videos. I would like to ask if the topic of the acceleration procedure of the rcastro tools by activating the nvidia cudas has been addressed. Thank you

[@viewintospace]

Sorry, I'm a Mac user. For me acceleration is always on without having to do some complicated stuff 😉

[@ridetheliger4176]

Now you can do dynamic background extraction on your video 😂

[@viewintospace]

🤣

Good video Sacha . When I upgrade to this latest version I fine the WBPP module won’t work and crashes Pix
I run Apple M2 os 14.2.1 sonoma
Any ideas ?

[@viewintospace]

Sorry, no clue - works fine with me. Reinstall PixInsight again - might very well resolve the issue

Oh a new chair ! 😮

The real shocking thing is that it is a real chair and not created by AI 😁

Like you, I’m a mac user, and I have a problem with blurXterminator. When I execute the process the picture gets completely white with some artefacts around the stars. Maybe it’s because of my processor or something like that (I have an old mac, like 8 years old and I have MacOS Big Sur, I think it’s the version 11.7.something)

[@viewintospace]

Sounds strange.... If all other processes run fine and after a complete reinstallation you still have these issues, I would contact Russ at RC Astro - he might be able to help.

[@quentinG_9841]

@@viewintospace all others processes run fine, I tried to reinstall all and I contacted rc-astro a few hours ago… We will see…

You have to delete the App in windows too.

[@viewintospace]

I'm a Mac user so first hand I can't say. I read somewhere you don't, but in any case it is for sure safer to delete it.

[@tonyclark1504]

You do not have to delete the App anymore if you are a Windows user. Just run the installation file.
