If the initial rough-align performed by the telescope has a precision better than 10-20 arcminutes, then the initial sync could be skipped and you can start the GOTOs to the targets, the autocenter with plate solve will correct them. However, the first (manual) plate solve and syncing can be done wi...

Hello, to use the same settings of the Plate Solve Window, remember to click the button "Save parameters".
If it still does not solve, post the image in jpeg format.

Hello, a new minor version of Astroart 9 is available, see: https://www.msb-astroart.com/ Version 9.0 SP4 - May 5, 2026 -------------------------------- * New feature. Blind dithering for sequences. * New feature. 3D graph with antialiasing and zoom. * New feature. Image resize with option for gamma...

The M104 image has a FOV of about 1 degrees, so entering: 60 +- 20% arcminutes will solve it, the exact FOV will be 65.9 The N6995 image has a FOV of about 1.5 degrees, so entering: 90 +- 20% will solve it, the exact FOV will be 95.6 When the FOV is unknown set the tolerance to +- 70%, then try 1 de...

Hi, post a JPG image to the forum, even resized if it's too big.
To attach an image, click the tab "Image and attachments" below the editor.

Hi, the correct command would be "Guider.Disconnect", however in your code there is no need for it since the command "Camera.Disconnect" disconnects also the guider.
Fabio.

yes, context menu of the multiblink, then "Copy annotations".
Annotations with date/time will be updated in real-time on every frame. Just place the annotation of the first frame of the sequence.
See also in the help: "Blink".

Hi, it's possible with the Remote Control SDK, but it's more complicated.
OK, launching the script by command line has been added today, to receive now the prerelease of the SP4 just write me by email or PM.

Hello, via script it's possible, for example: side = "?" ' .... ' initialization ' ..... ' before an exposure: if Telescope.PierSide <> side then side = Telescope.PierSide Camera.FullFrameAutofocus(...) Telescope.AutoCenter(...) end if however, since you cited the option "Plate solve and center tele...

Hi, before using Demosaic in Preprocessing for the very first time, it's recommended to do a "manual" Demosaic, so that the option about the pattern (GRGB etc.) of your camera is saved. In Astroart the option is not called "GRGB" or "GBGR", it's simply one of the four patterns. However, it's possibl...

- is this the right workflow?, I mean first preprocessing + applying filters and then add Ha? - How did you find the 0.138 in the example? 1) Yes, HA is inserted after preprocessing and filtering (gradient removal only). 2) The 0.138 was found visually: Enable the "lock" preview, then using the mou...

Hi, the simplest method is to move the mask (CTRL + arrows keys, or tha Mask window), then to enlarge/shrink the mask with the commands "Mask/erosion and dilation" The Formula method is more difficult, by the way formulas are just one row, so: if((x-1638)^2+(y-1550)^2 < 1340^2, 1, 0) A cleaner metho...
