APP mosaic issues

[tooth_dr]

Has anyone ran into trouble with the mosaic function is APP?  I'm trying to process a fairly straightforward 6 panel mosaic, each panel is from an 8 megapixel camera.  This is the message I'm getting at the integration stage:

if you have not already...Increase the amount of RAM the software can use....there is an option for that....will that maybe help...👍

I encountered this issue when attempting to integrate a 10 panel mosiac I was working on over a year ago.

Providing you have permitted APP to use all available RAM, the best way to get around it (other than buying more RAM) is to integrate each panel separately and then integrate together in APP. 

You may still encounter the issue but they downscale factor will be much closer to 1.

Cheers   It integrated 5 panels no issues last week, the 6th must have pushed it over the edge.

No problem, looking forward to seeing the result!

I closed it down and restarted APP and when choosing the working directory realised I had been stacking from my 128gb memory stick not the pc hard drive.   It has just stacked the 6 panels no problem.

Cheers Stuart. It’s set to max RAM. I have 16GB which was all my budget could stretch to when building the PC.  Might add more in the future

No bother. Working now that I changed the working directory

Yes, I got this when attempting my 12 panel M31 mosaic on a 16 gig RAM laptop.

Processed no problem on my new dedicated imaging PC with 32 gig RAM, however the result was still pants, but I can’t blame it on the memory.

Seems the problem was trying to process it with all the data on a memory stock 😂

Itll probably be pants also though lol

Just to add to this, I also now realise I was trying to combine calibrated 2x2 Oiii data with uncalibrated 1x1 Oiii data, and for some reason APP disagreed.  Incidentally, it did stack the same Oiii data when I turned off MBB and LNC - so it must be a memory issue.
