Dear Users! The "Image of the Month" for June 2004 is now online at the Astrometrica web site, http://www.astrometrica.at. Click on the thumbnail image on the...
Has anyone on this list used WCSTools? I gather it doesn't allow a cubic fit which if correct is crazy. Astrometrica seems to outperform it dramatically,...

I am wanting to do some astrometry of images from my SXV-H9C but these appear to be not analyzable by Astrometrica. Is there a straight-forward way? I don't...
I keep having this annoying issue when stacking images. It doesn't happen on all my stacks and sometimes theres just one or two images that is throwing things...
... With the current version, there is not. However, if you send me a description of the file file format that is used for storing color images, as well as a...
... I tried your images, and increased the "Alignment Area" in the program settings to 512 pixels, and the images were aligned OK. The original value was 200...
Ok...great....I hope this solves it for me because you can imagine how annoying it was to have 18 images that looked fine and have trouble getting any 3 of...
Thanks Herb, I just got home and tried this and it worked...except that for one of my stack it was still failing until I increased it to 700x700. This has...
Hola, ... I don't think so. If the alignment fails, then it fails entirely. And you won't see an almost perfectly aligned image with one or more stars just a...
... Hmm, if you input a wrong motion though which is not really the right motion for the time of the stack, then you have a non-symmetric problem and you will...
Actually that's exactly what I've seen before....one or two stars just slightly off. Hopefully with the larger alignment setting I won't be seeing that again....
Hi, I´ve question for Herbert about registratin of Astrometrica. Are information at official web pages actual? And what is registered letter? Thanks for...

Shouldn't be possible to remove the 5 images limit when solving a batch of images?, when I shoot, say 60 images, of an asteroid trying to find out the light...
... Of course, I understand your point. Astrometrica was designed and implemented with astrometry in mind, and for that, five images is usually more than...
Dear Users, I have just uploaded Version 4.3.3.352 to the "Downloads" section of the Astrometrica Web Site, www.astrometrica.at. I have to admit that it does...
Herbert, that's a great step forward. Thank you very much. To select motion and center coordinates separately is a great help at large FOVs with many objects...
Hi Group, I have altered my setup here, and now I find I can't do auto reductions on my images. Astrometrica will do the reduction if I manually match the...
Hi Group, Just writing to say that my problem solving my images has been fixed by Herbert. Once again a big thank you to him! The biggest problem appeared to...
Hi Reiner, Typo error, sorry USNO-B1 !!! Alan In message <40F7187E.23079.E234B1@localhost>, rstoss@...- darmstadt.de writes ... Alan Cahill Abbeydale...
Hi Alan, Are you using the latest version? I found the same problem with the latest version of Astrometrica. I haven't changed my setup in any way but ...
Hi David, Yes I am, now that's strange. Everything was working quite well until the latest version. Any suggestions Herbert? Cheers David Best Regards Alan In...

Jay, ... SkyMorph has a lot of them. http://skyview.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/skymorph/mobs.pl As you can see in the residual blocks on MPES, almost all...
... I don't think it was the catalogue you used. I just tried the UCAC2 instead of the USNO-B, because I have the UCAC on hard disk, while the online query of...
On the telescope I am using, the image orientation before meridian is different from after meridian. I can read one image with the Flip Horizontal/Flip ...

... Use any program that can import FITS files. It is likely you will find it easiest to use your image aquisition software for this. Flip all images taken...
Jeffrey, ... as the image orientation is specified for each cfg file and usually one is using one cfg per site or setup, it is not possible to reduce a set of...
... You could load the images taken before the meridian, use the flip horizointal and flip vertical commands of "Astrometrica" to change the image orientation,...
