Hang in there Marcus, all these niggles are eventually solvable!

Thanks Andy. I've done a system restore to before my last imaging session in July. Not tested yet but fingers are crossed.

Thanks Colin. Most renditions don't show the IFN - with a couple of notable exceptions. Even my Grose Vale data (NW Sydney) was starting to show it. Another 5 or so hours of Lum in Bortle 2 skies should really make it pop!

CCDAP/TSX has been very stable for umpteen years so I won't be changing. It's more than likely a windows update (that I don't remember doing) changed something. Never a again though!!

Astro is like that.
Have you recently done a windows update? I lost data a few times because I had windows update set to 3am and it interrupted an imaging run.
Greg.

Thanks Greg! Suspecting a Win update. We'll see if my system restore (back to before my last session in July) does the trick

Thanks Rodney! Much more work to do on it but it's coming along nicely I think.

It looks like an interesting project

Cheers Houghy! I've never had an issue like this on my Obs lappy but I very rarely do a Win update on it. Hopefully the system restore works.

Cheers Marc. I'm excited about how it will eventually turn out - but it will probably be next season before it's finished.
