Astrometrica file size issues

[bkm2304]

Hi all,

When I attempt to load a FITS file from MaximDL onto Astrometrica the program stops responding and I have to reboot it. It just loops round and round without actually loading the image.

The tutorial images load fine. The images I am trying to load are about 20meg.

Is this too ambitious for Astrometrica? My computer handles similarly sized files easily via other image software such as paint and Aperture. :shrug::shrug:

Help and advice appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Richard.

I've just answered my own question; it's the computer. If I crop the image reducing the mass from 20 to 4 meg, then convert it to FITS it happily loads up - only thing is doing that trashes my scaling!!!:rolleyes:
