Just starting Plate Solving
Just starting Plate Solving
I have downloaded your 4.0 version and started working on Plate Solving which I have never done. Very new to astronomy (babe in the woods). Anyway I downloaded AstroTortilla first with no apparent problems. The Path to Solve field does not detect automatically. When I used the test button, I get a No plate solving engine detected. I did not give up and decided to download ASTAP and when I pushed the Test button, I get a No star database found. Not sure what I am doing wrong on either of the software solutions. Both software solutions show they are on my machine. Any thoughts?

Hi Dale
For ASTAP you have to download a star database. These can be found on https://www.hnsky.org/astap.htm
They are on the right side of the Program Installer list. Which to download is explained there.
