Plate solving 4.0.8199 - WOW!

[brisguy]

I've been using SC since version 3.2 and have been using plate solving for a few months. I did not notice any mention of an improvement in the Plate Solve function with the latest release, but wow, what a difference!

Plate solves are typically solving within less than 5 seconds and seem much more robust. Before, I had to spend several minutes getting the exposure settings just right before getting a successful solve and now it seems to be much less picky. The other thing that surprised me was the number of sources reported. I usually cancel if I see more than 200 sources reported, but last night, I was getting rapid solves with as high as 2700 sources!

Was I just lucky or has there been an improvement in SC4.0.8199?

I am using a SvBony Sv305 camera and noticed some mention of a new SDK, but I thought that was included a few versions ago.

Hi,

I wasn't expecting anything significantly different with the new SVBony SDK, but good to hear that plate solving is working nicely.

cheers,
