HI
My DSS beta has just stopped producing an image , just like that. I have as far as I know not changed any settings , it was producing an image two months ago. Now all I get is a blank screen and no output file. Dss beta 3.3.3 iteration 51. Canon 60da files , CRF raw, but it's also doing it with ZWO fits files. I am mystified. Help!! (Windows 8.1)

Grazza, send me the images and I'll see if it does it on my system if you like.

Same happened with me with DSS about 7 years ago. Just wouldn't process anything. Didn't matter how many times I uninstalled and reinstalled. So, sadly, I gave up on DSS and bought CCDStack and PixInsight. Never looked back.

I do have DSS on this newer computer, so can give it a crack.

Cheers Lewis - but I solved it. When you update with just the exe. file it creates an output folder that does not exist, so you have to change the output folder and it works.
Thanks for the offer though.
Graz.

For noting, 3.3.4 beta is the latest. Good news: it's about to go open source and be developed by the community.
