Hi,

Any beta testers out there for Registax? I have a ton of single (individual images) to combine and process that were taken with SKYnyx 2-2 mono. Everytime I get to the STACK procedure in Registax I get an error message after it runs about a second.

Access violation at address 004CF15 in module RegiSTax3D.EXE. Read of addressd 00000020

I am using 3.0.1.24 and the previous version fails as well. I have plenty of computer horsepower and RAM, WinXP with the latest SP, so that's not the problem. I haven't had a problem in the past with my Atik 1HS II camera but those were .AVI files.

Are there any other alternitives software wise?

Any help would be appreciated,

I vaguely recall hitting some error as you describe
-- there was some artificial limit of about 750 frames
for registax working from single image files.
Some buffer used to store the file names gets full,
and it all crashes when it tries to read file names
past then end of the buffer. It helps to have short
file names -- I think the 750 limit was for 3 character
file names (e.g. 000 001 002 ...). Sorry I can't be
more specific -- haven't processed that way in a while.
Of course if you are working from AVIs, it can handle
many thousands of frames.

One fix might be to process in smaller sets, and save them
as 16 or 32 bit images (some high-quality format).
And then read these stacked images back in to make the
big stack. Need to make sure you save the intermediate
stacks in a format that Registax can also read. Bit of
effort though.
