Fair enough, but does not do DSLR imagers (me) any good. Bryan

Hi Dale, Many of the SBIG cameras came with CCDSoftV5 at one time, and APPM can use CCDSoftV5. -Ray Gralak Author of PEMPro Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center): https://www.astro-physics.com

#APCC

That's incorrect. APPM can use cameras with ASCOM camera drivers without extra software. -Ray Gralak Author of PEMPro Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center): https://www.astro-physics.com/apcc-

#APCC

See section 14.1 of the APPC Pro docs[1]. APPM already can get an exposure itself without the help of middleware so long as the camera being used has an ASCOM driver. If you're an SBIG owner, I guess

The API for SGP is poor. About as poor as the rest of the package is.

#APCC

Using fake images isnt a way to test that. I am all for rigor in testing. I have written 3 whitepapers on: Change Protocol in the SRE Era, Postmortems in a Blameless Culture, and Managing Problems in

#APCC

I reckoned that since I paid for SGP in order to use APPM, I should give it a chance to replace my existing imaging package. That did not work out. While I still use it when I need to update the APCC/

Hi Bill, What exactly is wrong with the headers? ASTAP can load the file, read the approximate RA/Dec coordinates, display the 16-bit image (albeit vertically flipped), show the image dimensions, and

#APCC

Your commentary proves that the cost/benefit of PinPoint is minimal, and I would go further to say that you think it is a great solution because of the sunk cost you have on your ledger. Not because i

#APCC

The discount is true. I upgraded my Mach 1 from CP3 to a CP4 and I got a ticket in the package offering me a 30% discount on APCC. Sadly I already own pro, and I cant give that to anyone. 🙁

#APCC

Hi Dale, Please, let's not spread disinformation! Brian's post has a typo. APCC Pro does not cost $1500. The full price is $500 (actually, $499). And it is free with the new purchase of 1100GTO-AE, 11

I opened them, they are fake images with trashed FITS headers that are barely even passable. Why would I care if fake images solve? I dont take fake images. I take real ones. Here, try a real image: H

Is anyone else having trouble opening the FITS images at this link? https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qlp1qgtaptccyu4/AADaSEl7EE0z1VO298pFGs2Ea?dl=0 -Ray Gralak Author of PEMPro Author of APCC (Astro-Physics

Support platesolve 2, support ANSVR, support ASTAP. The point really is that limiting the options to ancient software (SkyX, Maxim, and PinPoint are ancient) and having the only modern option being SG

#APCC

I see we agree on many other things ;)

#APCC

Wrong. But this isnt a debate thread so I will leave that as my only retort.

#APCC

Bingo, yes they do care that it is free, everything is overpriced when its not free, or ancient or not for them or...
