Plate Solving during Polar Alignment not successful
Posted: Sun Apr 14, 2019 2:38 pm
SharpCap is finding enough stars but plate solving is in most cases not successful:
Camera: Lodestar
Guiding Scope: 60 * 240
I have checked the following preconditions:
- My telescope aimes near the pole. The deviation is within 5 degrees.
- The FOV seems ok.
- SharpCap finds more than 15 stars and displays them in yellow and red.

Nevertheless the plate solving is not successful.
I played with several settings, but the situation did not improve.
Astrometry.net can solve the picture.

In rare cases the solving is successful, but the time i consume for the polar alignment is far too long.
