Bottletopburly Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 APT has the ability to platesolve , looking into it came across a tutorial on the APT Forum that may be useful for others looking to set this up http://astropetros.com/wp/?p=669 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stash Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Use it all the time - great for centring objects in your FOV. On the occasions Platesolve doesn't work I use Astrotortilla. Platesolve in APT is easier to use i as APT works out all the parameters for Platesolve when you use a known camera. Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bagman Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Think I've now have this sorted, plate solve2 initially failed, I increased the max star size to 9. All sky plate solver worked from the start. Will try in anger at first opportunity. Edited January 7, 2017 by The Bagman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
