Hello and welcome! I would like to ask everyone who uses Siril or Sirilic to stack multiple nights of their astrophotography images. Why does my PC screen shut down while stacking? Does it need to shut down to process the final image better, or is it because there isn't enough space for it to process?
Does anyone know the answer to this?

Hello,

I have used Sirilic for multiple sessions and I have never had that issue. Is it a pc crash? Do you have enough space on the pc? Thanks

My Windows Laptop doesn't shut down. I have unchecked any energy saving option. I guess you have checked the option that after a while without usage the screen turns off.
Hope that info helped.

Ah yes sorry you mentioned the pc screen right. This has nothing to do with siril or Sirilic these is related to your pc setting like screensaver and power options.

Thanks

Well, my c drive is almost full, but I do store Siril  and all kinds of astronomical software in the d drive.
Not sure, though, why the screen shuts down during the stacking.

If it runs for a long time maybe you screen goes dark based on power settings .Otherwise I have no clues as well.
