Problems with ASTAP h18 database
Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2022 9:33 pm
Hi everyone,
I am a SharpCap newbie, having spent much time with ASIAIR. I'm using SharpCap 4.0 (Windows 10.0.19044) and have had no problems plate solving with ASPS, but when I try to use ASTAP, it keeps extracting the entire h18 database -- and even after all that, it does not plate solve. Both ASPS and ASTAP are found automatically by SharpCap in the Plate Solving settings tab with no difficulty. I have tried moving the h18 database to the same location as the ASTAP app itself, in Program Files x86, with the same result. I also tried deleting the h18 database entirely, downloading it again and re-installing it; no difference. There is plenty of disk space on my hard drive, though the h18 database does take up 1 Gb. Yet whenever I try to do plate solving using ASTAP I get a lengthy extraction of the database but no plate solve. I can use ASPS but I have a small FOV and want to try that big h18 database. Help!
