Upper limits on Registax?

[StuartT]

I shot some admittedly rather large .SER movies of the full moon tonight on a 2600MC Pro at 3800x3800. They're 5000 frames and about 50GB each.

Registax is taking absolutely for ever just to align them. I haven't even started stacking yet.

I read somewhere that if you set too many align points it gives it too much work to do. Is that true? I set 383. Is that a reasonable number?

What are the practical upper limits of Registax? Or will it cope provided I just wait long enough?

Might be the resolution. Check your task manager if Registax is actually doing anything at all, it may have already crashed.

I am not able to do anything in Registax with a picture bigger than 3000x3000 due to its memory limitations.

Thanks. I just left it and it did eventually finish. Here is the product of its labours (3128x3128px)

Looks like it was worth the wait. Nice pic Stuart.

Indeed!

Try ImPPG instead of Registax.
Free, quick and rather magical.
With live, on-screen scrumptiousness.

250 TB? I'm not surprised Registax is running slow...or am I missing something here?

No wonder the lights had dimmed...

Registax must have thought it was a DDoS attack!

haha! sorry. I don't mean 50GB a frame! I mean 50GB a video (which are 5000 frames long)
