VPHOT has been down since yesterday. Is there someone working to resolve this? I have 3 observations piled up waiting for this application to be functional. Is there a better place to report this? No ‘Help’ or ‘Support’ link anywhere on the Website.
I just tried it (10pm EDT) and it seems to be up again, but I see no images in my image list. I uploaded some just over a month ago and I don’t think it deletes old images that soon, does it? (I know that at first it only shows you recent images but I expanded the filter options to show everything and still see nothing.)

Hi,
we are receiving a lot of images and the grace period for the images has been lowered to 12 days, so images uploaded one month ago has been deleted.
We had a couple of failure because the space on the server was completely filled so we had to take this decision and possibly this limit will be further lowered.
Please remember that Vphot is not a storage system, upload images, do the analysis and delete them so everyone can take advantage of the system without issues.
I understand lowerig the time limot. But when you do, pleaseannounce it LOUDLY, like put it on the home page banner.
BTW: Still down. Allowed me to stack, but not analyze a time series.

I agree with you but with the server with no disk space available lowering the retention period for images was the only option.
Hello everyone!
I have images from two telescopes: the BSM_NM and the DSO35. The strange thing is that I was able to stack the images received from the BSM_NM and take photometry, but I can’t stack them and take photometry from the DSO35.

I have the same problem. I think it has to do with the size of the images. From DSO35 the images are 40 Mb. I have other images that are 8 Mb and they can be processed without problem.
Hello everyone!
Just to let you know I am affraid VPhot is still not working correctly. I have not been able to run a Time Series with data uploaded from AAVSOnet.
Stacking is not an issue, and I see all my images.
Cheers!

I’m having repeated problems with VPHOT as well. Its a terrific application when it can be accessed, but sadly, it seems to have problems more and more often. Its getting to the point where a shift to AIJ or Peranso is required. I wish our membership fees and donations could be more-focused in maintaining or creating the tools that make our volunteer time, observations and reports more of a convenience rather than a frustration.

Hey again,
My bad (again). VPhot is running great right now. The impossibility to generate a Time Series report was due to the fact that I had too many cookies stored in my browser. I erased them, and everything is working well now.
Cheers,

I guess a lot of people are seeing the same thing right now but thought I’d post it anyway in case it is of any use. I have some images from DSO35 in my list right now and cannot open any of them; each time I get the out of memory error shown below. I get the same thing if I try to stack them. Downloading also fails with a “server connection failed” error.

Gary,
I think you mean Phoranso (Photometric Reduction and Analysis Software).
Just wanted to second I’m seeing exactly this message, also from dso35.
I just tried it again this morning and VPhot is letting me load the images from DSO35, and letting me stack them (though I am only stacking two images).
