Re: Bug in passing coordinates to PlateSolve 3.80

It is indeed odd. If the FITS file has the header (which it should when connected to the ASCOM mount), it should pass like it does in the commandline. My version of PS3.8 is from the NINA website. Don't know if that's any different from the version in the Planewave software. https://www.dropbox.com/...

Re: Bug in passing coordinates to PlateSolve 3.80

Hi Robin, The reference is in my earlier post. There is no parameter for search radius, but if the starting RA/Dec/X/Y parameters are given reasonably, the search is very fast, as in Native UI, command line, NINA etc. When they are blank, it is very slow, as in Sharpcap. There seems to be some issue...

Re: Bug in passing coordinates to PlateSolve 3.80

Not to bombard you :-) But just noticed the SC command to PS3 has commas between parameters. As per the PS3 readme, there should not be any commas between the parameters passed. Could that be it?

Re: Bug in passing coordinates to PlateSolve 3.80

Herer are 2 screenshots. The first is PS3 in native UI, from command line, NINA etc. It solves within 1-2 sec. Never shows "all sky solve" in the PS3 UI. PS3_Normal.png Second is PS3 from Sharpcap. You can see what I mean by the blanks. This takes 15-20 sec to solve.Solves only after showi...

Re: Bug in passing coordinates to PlateSolve 3.80

Hi Robin, I did a couple more tests. First, I ran PS3 from command line on a test image and it worked as expected. The blanks (RA/Dec/FOV) were filled in with the starting values and solving was very fast. Then, I tried platesolving on already captured images of M33 via livestack in SC. The log says...

Re: Bug in passing coordinates rto PlateSolve 3.80

Heres the log from the "Test Platesolver" action in File>Sharpcap Settings>Platesolving At 13:01:07.042856, the FOV etc is calculated. But at 13:01:07.064850 it seems to go immediately to a blind solve? Info 13:01:07.035004 #1 Plate solver detection : Astap (auto-detect) - Found at c:\Prog...

Bug in passing coordinates to PlateSolve 3.80

Hi, When I set PS3 as my platesolver, on starting platesolve the PS3 window opens as usual, but the initial coordinates and the FOV size are blank. It therefore moves to a blind solve which obviously takes time. The mount is connected and the correct RA/DEC coordinates are visible in SC. But they do...

Re: 2 naming bugs in Capture Flats tool

Hi Robin, That didnt work. I have set "Use Sortable Date format" to yes (i.e., ticked the box). My manual template for single filename (actually all files) is "{TargetName}\S_{Date: Y }_Dt_{Date: S }_{Time}_{Filter}" In the Sample Filename box, this is what shows (emphasis mine):...
