Plate Soliving Error

[Mstraka606]

Hi Robin

I tried the Sequence Planner for the first time today by testing various operations.
I got stuck on plate solving.
I suspect the plate solver isn't configured properly? I chose SharpSolve and the plate solve engine test (settings) was successful.
Thanks for any directions for help.

Hi Mike,

the plate solving is working, but the mount is rejecting the 'Sync' command with an error

Code: Select all

Warning	21:39:57.492092	#37	Mount claimed it could Sync, but command failed...  RADec coords were (12.28281987610749 , 37.184242609132326) : Exception of type 'NotImplementedException' : SyncToCoordinates is not implemented in this driver. 

If the mount does not implement syncing the co-ordinates then the best thing to do is to go to the SharpCap plate solving settings and change the option for what to do after solving from 'Sync mount and recenter target' to 'offset the mount position to center the target' - that should let the operation proceed and get the target into the middle of the field of view while avoiding using the 'Sync' operation.

cheers,

Robin

Thank you Robin. It’s a 10Micron mount with a pretty good sky map uploaded. I like your recommendation ! Thank you.
