Hi Peter,

How much memory have you made available to AstroImageJ? The default is
only 640 KB and the process may be running out of memory. Assuming you
are new to AIJ, the memory setting is at
AIJ_Toolbar->Edit->Options->Memory and Threads. You can set the value as
high as 60-75% of your total system memory. Restart AIJ after changing
the setting and the new memory will be available.

Click on the lower part of the toolbar after restarting AIJ to verify
the total memory available. Also, make sure it says that 64-bit Java is
being used. If not, reinstall the option from the website that includes
64-bit java for windows.

If neither of these are your issue, I need to know more since this issue
hasn't been previously reported. You could start with letting me know
the total amount of memory allocated to AIJ, and the number of
calibration images being combined and the file size of each. Also, click
on the lower part of the toolbar and let me know the percent memory
being used. A screen shot of the DP might also be useful.

I'll let others comment on what the best software is since I am highly
biased!
