Great! Rolando

Hi Ray, I couldn't agree more ! Thanks for considering it. I feel we are getting on the same page now. I'm sure most APPM + ASTAP user would benefit from that too (even without noticing it), be it an

Well my first shot at this was pretty poor. I had very inconsistent results, that overshot what they should be been when I adjusted the tilt plate. They they went in the wrong direction! I finally got

Ray said: I'm also curious about the "historical" aspect of the plate solve and sync. That uses the user's declare scale information right? Maybe avoid this whole mess and just apply the

How about this device? I thought it was a highly recommended product for APCC MGBOX2 —DD

There are several different paths that APPM uses for plate-solving. APPM reads the FITS headers but doesn't parse and use every value in every case. Historically, users calculated camera image scale

But that old pair of tattered blue jeans is still my most comfortable pair of pants! Thanks Roland!!

Hi Dale, Since APPM works with a number of different camera applications, including some old applications like CCDSoft and AstroArt, APPM cannot assume that the necessary keywords to calculate image

Thanks for chiming in on this Dale! Much appreciated. Sébastien

Make a new curve. The old ones wear out with use. Rolando

Ray, You got me all wrong! I am not arguing against that (using FiTS header data) at all. I am arguing FOR that, just like you. Thing is, the way APPM currently calls ASTAP exactly prevents what you

Heh, ok. So hopefully not a case of too many cooks in the kitchen, but Han is also on the NINA discord so I asked him directly there about this question. (I've been catching up on my email and day

I'm thrilled to report that the loaner CP4 has arrived from AP. My damaged unit probably passed it in the mail over the weekend... lol. I installed the loaner CP4 and all is well. The mount

Hi Linwood, I see you posted a question on this topic on the ASTAP forum. Thank you for doing that. I was going to post there this evening, but you beat me to it. It will be interesting to see what

Just because it does it that way doesn't mean it cannot be improved. If someone can learn by reading a book then doesn't it make sense that ASTAP can learn by reading the FITS header? I can

There is often "an exception to rule", and this is a case of that. I meant when passing an explicitly value, not this exception. -Ray

So I’m running 2 laptop and a NUC . Is there a licensing issue to install on the three. NUC is to run it long term, new laptop is to be setup configuration and troubleshooting the AP , and run my
