Hello to everyone,

Can anyone help me with the PixInsight 1.8.8.7 update? I'm trying to download her for my OSX and my Windows from the server though my account, but it gives me an error on starting the download.
I'm currently in the 1.8.8.5, and I would like to apply some starless techniques under starnet++ as well using the EZ Processing Suite, but I'm stuck regarding the update, and some of the images need to be re-edit for an exibition in three weeks.
I've tried to contact the Pleiades team, but is almost a week and a half and nothing.

Is it possible to someone send the me update via wetransfer, or google drive, etc.?

I'm desperate right now.

Regards and clear skies

You can always save as TIF and use the standalone version of starnet.

Besides that, just download pi from their servers and install it. Not sure what exactly your problem is?

What the download error is?

I have the same issue with PI servers, downloads keep failing, but if you use a decent browser (firefox in my case) and you notice the failure quickly, you can click the retry next to it and it will resume from where it failed. I am not sure about sharing PI directly, this might be against PI policies?

When I initiate Pi I receive a note saying that I need to manually download the version 1.8.8.7. I go to the browser (in this case Chrome), I do the login in the server and then I search for the menu where the 1.8.8.7 is located for windows and then for Mac. I click it to download it, and sudendly the browser freezes and goes down after a while.

I've been using Starnet++ in DOS, but it's a pain in the ass exporting master frames to do it, them import them back in, and I'm trying to make the EZ Processing Suite to work (She works only in Pi), but I ned to do the update.
Well, I'm not asking for the software, only the .exe file or .zip file of the update. The software I already have and licenced.

Regards and clear skies
