Question about using astrometry.net

#1

Post by beauharlan »

Hello, Is there any way to use the output from astrometry.net to perform the necessary mounting motion in case the internal PS is broken?

If possible please guide me. Thanks.

Hi,

no, sorry, SharpCap doesn't have any code to communicate with the astrometry.net website. It's worth noting that the 'Astrotortilla', 'ASPS' and 'Ansvr' plate solving programs are all based on the same code that is used by astrometry.net, so if properly configured should give equivalent results.

cheers,

Robin
