Tool > Plate Solve Resync does recenter the target

[Beamer55]

I am using sky_simulator to learn the Plate solving and GOTO features of Sharp Cap. I recently downloaded the news version of the software (4.1.12946.0) and I think it was working the previous of the software. Attached is the log

I recorded a video if you need it.

Thanks, Gary

Hi Gary,

from what I can see in the logs, there are 3 plate solving attempts - all three produce a valid plate solve result and two of them (first and last) result in the mount being synced to the solved co-ordinates. Search the log for 'Before Sync' and 'After Sync' to find these two cases.

The second results in plate solved co-ordinates that are so close to the current mount position that the sync step is skipped. This happens when the offset is less than 0.005 degrees (18 seconds of arc). Search the log for 'no synchronization needed' to see this.

Beyond that, everything in the log seems to work as expected, unless I have missed noticing something.

cheers,

Robin
