I am trying to load 50 fits files in to DSS, it is telling me the taken to register all the images is 20 hours, does that sound right or am I doing something wrong? Cheers John

Yes it does.
How big are the individual fits? What machine are you processing on?

Hi Jeremy

The files are FITS and 31.2 mb each my laptop is a Lenovo G40 ans I am running Windows 10. Does that info help you?

A quick look at that model suggests that it is very under powered for processing and stacking. The Celeron processor and 2 Gig ram is going to take a long, long time I am afraid.

My desktop (An age old i7 machine with I think 4gig of RAM) stacks 50 or so FITS images in a handful of minutes in DSS. Astro Pixel Processor takes a lot longer but I think is doing a lot more work in the background.
