BYE 3.1.8 Premium Edition Crashed Tonight

[JTWaters]

I was taking Dark subs and BYE crashed.  A Win 7 windows popped up for about a second with something about an exception error then everything closed.  BYE was in the middle of taking 1 second Darks and I was stretching a Dark sub to see if there was noise.  The log file is too large to attach.  The last portion of the log file is below.  

 

Equipment

- Win 7 Pro with up to date patches

- Lenovo ThinkPan E440 with 16GBytes of memory

- BYE 3.1.8 Premium Edition 

- 3 Meter USB Repeater Cable

- Canon 6D

 

The battery had a 85% charge and over 125GBytes disk space free.

Hi Jim,

 

I looked at the logs again.

The above indicates, and I'm 99.9% sure about this, that .NET was not able to create an in-memory representation of an image for display.  The image file is intact, but .Net has failed to display this image.

 

Now, I'm not sure if this is causing the crash you are reporting, but if this is the root cause this is out of the BYE code base

BYE is a 32-bit app so Windows caps its memory usage at 2GB, regardless of how much physical memory is available. It seems that you bumped up against that limit.

 

It would be good if you could recreate the error and document the steps that cause it. That may help Guylain figure out if it is possible to free up memory to avoid the issue.

 

Just curious, why are you taking 1 second darks? I would think that dark frames would not be necessary for an images with that short an exposure. Did you have any problem taking the 1 second lights?

[JTWaters]

I have never seen this problem before.  This is a laptop that I use for astronomy.  At that time no other apps were running.  The highest that I have seen memory utilization is 2.8 GBytes out of 16 GBytes. This is with TheSky 6 and PHD Guide 2 running at the same time.  

 

I was playing around with a new Rokinon 50mm lens seeing how good the optics were.  Just for the fun of it I was shooting Orion at ISO 1600 with 1 sec subs last night.  I was planning to process the subs with ImagesPlus to determine how much I could resolve Orion with the moon at 98% in a White Zone.  As I mentioned I was stretching a Dark to determine how much noise there was in my Darks.  I pushed the stretch quite a bit.

 

The likelihood of reproducing the problem is slim to none.  Forgot to mention above that their was 4 sec between each sub.

[astroman133]

As I said, it the problem has nothing to do with system-wide memory usage. The maximum memory usage in a single 32-bit application such as BYE is 2 GB. That is apparently the limit that you bumped up against.

The first thing I would do would be to reinstall in a new folder and see if it happens again.

 

This seems to be a .net issue where .net is not reserving enough memory to load the image file.  This is a known documented .net issue.

 

Keep us posted.

[JTWaters]

I will do a reinstall and let you know if it happens again.  Thx
