Maxime, Thank you. Alvaro

Hello all, Do you know what is the latest version of SiTechexe and will it be possible to provide a link to its location? Thank you. Alvaro

Excellent, thank you. I had been noticing that sometimes I hit my imaging targets really well and sometimes they are way off, so I am assuming that I must be a threshold value and lowering the default

Hello All, I am trying to optimize my Mesu 200 config, and reading through previous emails Gary mentioned that he changed the acceleration parameter to 500. About ~1/2 he said. is it correct that he w

Hello, I checked the settings on my MESU and both were tick on ( I knew I was not able to use the pre-meridian phd2 training on the post-meridian leg of my imaging - I had to re-train). So I unticked

Don, Thank you. That worked well. PlatSolve was able to find the catalog files. Strange enough I did have the folder PlateSolve3Catalog in the same place you mentioned but none of the folders containe

Hello, After about 6 months now I am working on the plate solving script, and the first thing I tried was to get the script to get the plate solving working independently. I got PlateSolve2 to find UC

Yes, that is in the back of my mind, but first I have to be successful on the script part. Then I will look at see if I can automatize the camera. Thanks for the reminder. Alvaro

Don, Thanks for the information. Hopefully I will manage to get it right. Now I have to wait for the full moon to take advantage of it (I am imaging in between). Alvaro

Dan, We kind of talk a while ago about using the script that collects the PointXP by using plate solving. I mentioned that I use a Sony A7s, and that there is not ASCOM access to the camera, so I sugg

I tried that last night and it worked relatively well. As always we had clouds moving in and we have the moon in waning gibbous, so I did not got my best go to (the comet in center of the field, but s

Great, thanks

BTW: I have a question. Does Skyview uses the MPC format to read the comet ephemerids? Thanks, Alvaro

yes, you can, I have done it with Jupiter and Saturn. I had even done a temporary alignment with venus to get me going (i don't recommend it all the time), because there were clouds passing by, and I

Yes, I am going to try that. Now I am trying to figure out how to download the file from the web. The only weird thing is that the data files in the SiTech\SitechExe\Database\ are extension .dat, but

Thank you for the info, and that sounds reasonable. I am going to try download the comet database. and see if I can use Skyview. I am bit worry that I am using old data, but maybe it is still valid. t

I have a question (I have to accept that I haven't search for it): how do you track a comet? I am thinking of the ATLAS comet. I am using a MESU 200, and an Edge HD 9.25 Thanks, Alvaro

Sounds good, thank you. Alvaro

Hi All, Thanks for the prompt reply and there is a lot of reading from the things you have posted. A couple of things: 1) there is a tree between the telescope and polaris. so SharpCapPro is out, at l

Hello, I am already polar aligned ( including drift alignment ) in my pier, and I am about to go through the motions of drift alignment to re-tweak my alignment using PHD2. Somewhere I read that to pe
