Great and thank you Dale, it works perfectly, as long as I have an internet connection which is the case for me. Dominique

I would use weather service sources for barometric pressure if it was not available on-site. Barometric pressure is going to be largely consistent across a wide geographic area. You can use the ASCOM

I am looking for a weather station to support the modeling of my Mach2. My candidates are 2: 1) Pegasus Astro Pocket Powerbox Advance. My favorite, it handles USB ports, power and dew heaters. And it

I am locking this topic since it has gone off the rails. Ray has indicated that ASTAP will be considered for the future, but we must be sure that it is a solid product that will provide accurate infor

Yes, that's what it means. Han has prepared a few databases for use, with the G17 one fitting most needs down to a 20 armin FoVs. If you FoV is smaller than that, he says the G18 database will be need

Okay I'll try that. Thanks. Does G17 mean the stars have a 17th magnitude limit? (PinPoint solved it with a mag 15 limit.) -Ray Gralak Author of PEMPro Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center): h

Honestly the virtual cameras like this are useful; I use them all the time. Han even makes one himself and he uses it for testing ASTAP: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sky-simulator/ It can use DSS

I created that feature so that I could extensively test various options in the plate-solvers. I then realized that others might be able to use it for checking software setup, so I made it available. I

Ok, so I ran these myself and they solved in 0.2 and 0.3 seconds with the G18 database. It seems that however these images were generated, they were generated with a small enough FoV that they didn't

Its fake data. No one using this software is going to go through that workflow. Its like testing the taste of peanut butter on bread, with a barrel of fish guts instead.

Just a reminder: this isn't about removing solving through SGPro or anything; this is about eliding such software from a user's stack where it provides no benefit but yet incurs a real cost. As a DLSR

Why not contribute by creating an ASCOM driver for DSLRs? It is actually a great thing that astronomy software is so componentized. Otherwise, astronomy software would be a lot less evolved if every d

Hi Bill, The data from DSS comes from real images, not reconstructed from a list of star coordinates. It may not be perfect, but it's not fake data. It's more real than most data after stacking, unnat
