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

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

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

Question about ASTAP plate solve
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

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
