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

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

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

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

#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

Fine, would you quibble about me asking you to send me $150 plus yearly sub costs since, apparently, it means nothing to you? Are you really that full of yourself? I have no idea why you would be resi

#APCC

The ASTAP code is licensed under a very tested and common open source license, and the code as it is will remain free under the terms of that license. The only way that code could be made non-free is

#APCC

So here's the the main issue I have that has been preventing me from wanting to upgrade from Standard to Pro: I have to buy other software to make APPM work, and APPM is really one of the primary reas

#APCC

What can I say, Han doesn't really care about versioning. I wouldn't quibble over that since we as developers know that versioning can be rather arbitrary. At any rate, the source for ASTAP and all of

If one is using ASTAP with long focal length telescopes, there is this *very* important tidbit in the ASTAP documentation: • For telescope with a small field of view <20 arcmin you could download the

I'm not an APPM user having only the Standard edition of APCC, but I'm wondering if there needs to be some settle time in between the time the mount says the slew is complete and before APPM asks for

#APCC

Ok, I see. The important distinction here is that the RA that that is *displayed* is of a lower resolution than what it *solves*. Getting a more precise display of RA coordinates is basically just ask

ASTAP outputs WCS formatted FITS keywords, either as a separate file or added to the FITS header of the image that was solved. ASTAP is not ASCOM capable itself so it cannot talk to a mount directly a

You must have been subscribed to the old yahoogroups lists with both email addresses. Hit the "Contact Group Owner" link that is at the bottom of every message and ask that they (probably Marj and Kar

Honestly any small low power router that can operate at a voltage you can supply from your power source will work. As for the operating temp it gets only to -10c here where I live at its coldest but I

I use an industrial fanless mini PC from OnLogic, in their ML100 series, specifically the ML100G-51 model: https://www.onlogic.com/computers/industrial/fanless/ml100-series/ The Whiskey Lake CPUs have

I've been through a few iterations with my setups over the years because I'm a mobile imager who sets up and tears down every time, and I have two setups - my large one based around a 130GTX/Mach1/Eag

Great! But 180s exposures for plate solving is... a bit long. For plate solves, I do 5 second exposures through the luminance filter on my 130GTX @ f/4.5. Do you have some really slow optics where 2 m

This is the same camera that I'm adapting for my all-sky camera. If you're curious about its NIR response, talk to Christopher Go, who has been posting some really good methane stacks of Jupiter made
