I use Pinpoint personally as it used to be needed for the F&M wizard (isn't any more) but I downloaded the Pinpoint2 libraries yesterday and ran some tests and it worked fine.
ASTROMETRY LOCAL HOW TO
I cant even figure out how to fully uninstall SGP so I can try a clean install !!Īs noted by both guys above David it is probably something quite small within settings somewhere so don't lose faith, it really is a very good bit of software. Its driving me nuts!! So annoying - I have got everything else working ! I would love to bin Maxim, Astrtortilla, FocusMax etc but at least they all work !! Spent 10 hours now trying to get this to blind solve to work - I have tried everything I can think of - I cant get SGP to try any programme except ANSVR local then when that fails - remote ANSVR.Įveryone (even the developer of SGP is saying Platesolve2 is the thing to go for but I cant make SGP look at PS2. I suspect this is due to the limiting magnitude of reference catalog data, which appears to be somewhere are 11 or 12 for both Nova and PlateSolve 3. There also seems to be a point where taking longer exposures to bring out fainter stars does little to improve the odds of a successful solution. If you're using a planetary camera in long focal length optical path, plate solution may not be reliable, particularly where sparse fields are involved. I haven't used PlateSolve 2 so I don't know how it compares to PlateSolve 3.
This typically occurs only when a very small (< 1 arcmin) field of view is involved or very few stars are present in the image. That said, there are some circumstances where PlateSolve fails to solve a field even given the exact center coordinates and image scale. Unless things have changed recently with Nova, Dave Rowe's plate solution algorithm is clearly better. PlateSolve is usually somewhat better at blind solving fields (no user-supplied detail regarding coordinates or image scale) and can often solve fields which Nova cannot even when very specific detail is provided. While I have no experience with SGP, I have solved a lot of images using both Nova ( web based tool) and PlateSolve 3.
