Question: Plate Solving Setup

#1

Post by Brian1973 »

I am having problems with trying to configure Astrometry, Cygwin/Astrometry based and AstroTortilla. I can't seem to figure out how to get SharpCap to find the file path even though all the programs are downloaded.

Also, are there any other issues that you can see with my settings?

Hi Brian

Is there an error when you use the Test Selected Plate Solver button?

There is no error reported when I implemented a plate solve test.

Hi,

I can see in the screenshot that neither the 'detect automatically' or the 'enter manually' buttons are selected in the Astrotortilla section - I wonder if that is the problem? Try clicking the radio button next to 'Detect Automatically' then pressing apply.

cheers,

Robin
