Are there plans for APCC Pro to support ASTAP plate solver?

Hi guys,
After all the excitement with the new sky modeling system that Roland is testing, it brought me back to whether to buy APCC Pro because APCC Pro has the sky modeling built in. And the best part is that it does the modeling automagically. One thing holding me back from buying APCC Pro is because I will need to buy PinPoint. IMO, I am loathe to spend money on PinPoint when I have both ASPS and ASTAP doing the same thing but free. There was some talk a while ago about supporting ASTAP plate solver in APCC Pro. Is this in the works? cytan |

Hi Cytan, the APPM section of the APCC Pro manual says you can also use TheSkyX Pro or Sequence Generator.

I use APT for capture which is not compatible with APPM. cytan

Platesolve2 is widespread and commonly used as well. Would be good to get more options than just SkyX or SGP.

SGP does not have internal plate solving routine. There are 4 options for plate solving. All have a learning curve.
Astrometry.net (remote and local) (free) ASTAP (free) PinPoint ($150US)(APPM can use PinPoint directly as well) PlateSolve2 (free) Just the ability to run APPM was worth SGP's price ($100US) Bryan |

I use SkyX, but would love to see ASTAP or PS2 become supported.
