Dear all,

I am sad to say that I am a little (a lot) discouraged to try to upload my images to VPHOT

 

I tried many times to upload the images of a LC (about 600 about 5 Mo)

but often, the upload blocks... the screen stops... and nothing comes to the queue

It is really discouraging... sometimes 2 hours to upload the files... 

I do not think my header is bad as I do the same process for a long time.

So I have a question.

Would it be possible one day to have a VPHOT excutable file in local on the hard disk ?

And I am searching a software in local (without the upload to a server) because I loose a lot of time...

 

Cheers

Jean

Upload in small batches?

Jean:

1. No, it is very unlikely that VPhot will ever be offered as a local executable program.

2. Try to upload images in small batches (e.g., 50 images). Large numbers of large images often have upload issues related to connection problems. Did you really have success previously? What has changed and when?

3. Look at LesvePhotometry if you need a local photometry program.
