Siril 1.2.6 Release Notes

We are happy to announce the release of Siril 1.2.6. Although Siril 1.2.5 was supposed to be the last update in the 1.2 series, a critical bug in the Windows version required us to release a new patch. This bug was introduced after a recent update of cfitsio which caused issues with widechar filenames that were not UTF-8 encoded.

This update mainly addresses this problem, ensuring that Siril works seamlessly with non-UTF-8 filenames on Windows. We appreciate your patience and feedback in helping us resolve this issue.

Hello, the error is in your log:

23:33:36: FITS error: failed to find or open the following file: (ffopen)
23:33:36: FITS error: Q:\Astrophoto file sync\2025\2025-01-02 IC443
23:33:36: FITS error: failed to find or open the following file: (ffopen)
23:33:36: FITS error: light_00231.fit

Check this image light_00231.fit exists and if it doesn’t you’ll need to remove the process directory and retry.

Thank you, I did have a problem with some of the files. I had tried to Stack in DSS initially, realized i left some ‘BAD’ files in there and hadn’t cleaned out the directory to try with Siril.
I’ve managed to stack the image, working on PP now.
Thank you for taking the time to help, I needed someone to point me in the right direction to realize just how much i had forgotten!
cheers and clear skies
Mike J
