The "Image of the Month" for August 2004 is now online at the Astrometrica web site, http://www.astrometrica.at. Click on the thumbnail image on the menu bar...
Hiya All, I've uploaded a copy of my configuration, 5 pics, and the resultant log after processing them looking for 2004 LJ1, for your perusal. You can find ...
What size residuals does Astrometric report for the plate solution and how many reference stars ar in the solution? ... From: "Bob Hart" <bobh@...> ...
On the 5 pics, the ~ plate solution is dRA .16 and dDe .13. Did I read that right Herbert? Least number of reference stars of the 5 was 54. That's all in the...
Hi, ... Are these 5 arcsec what the MPC told you (post-fit) or is this a value from the log-file and thus just meaningsless pre-fit residuals? If we are really...
The plate solution residuals in the log file for the first image are 51 of 64 Reference Stars used: dRA = 0.16", dDe = 0.13 Which doesn't look bad, it looks...
Yep, you guys are right! I just checked the time my HX9 software updates the header with, and it is the mid-point, where I was using the start-point. Somewhere...
... So the time error was + half the exposure time. AFAIR your total residuals were 5", so did you expose this 2.5"/min mover for 4 minutes? Resulting in a...
... But then the residuals should have been about 2.5" if the time error was half the exposure length and thus 1min which gives 2.5" of motion on an object...
Oops! Let me clarify. When I originally realized I had a residual error problem, the particular set of data I had was ~5 arcsec. The files I uploaded today ...
Unless you have extreamly poor seeing you could have probably could satisfied the measurement with a set of say ten 50 second exposures and used Astrometrica's...
Dear users, I received a private message asking how Astrometrica can be set to access mirror sites for downloading the MPCOrb database or the USNO-B reference...
FWIW...I've never been able to get the MPCOrb download to work using Astrometrica. I don't recall the error message and I'm not at home. I end up doing it...
... When I first read this, I was a bit surprised. I thought the ftp access was anon-ftp. But then I found my old MPML posting on the subject and realized...
Well I'm glad you don't have any problems. This is all I get: http://www.threebuttes.com/extras/ast_error.jpg I pasted the contents of my cfg file below if...
... You need to specify your E-Mail address in the contact details of the progranm settings. From the cfg file you posted, it seems that you have entered the...
Ok...I got it going now. The reason my email was on the same line goes back to an older post of mine several months ago. The MPC observational details page...
Last night I shot some interesting targets in the Milky Way (yeah, I'm a glutton for punishment) and discovered that the UCAC doesn't cover the area of...
... This plot (which si also on the UCAC2 CDs) shows which part of the sky is covered, and which is not: http://ad.usno.navy.mil/ucac/skycov_u2c.gif Best...
Hi all, I'm having no luck getting Astrometrica to consistantly auto plate solve my images (success is about 1 in 10). Can anyone take a look at an example...
Hi Bob, Uploaded to the Astrometrica Yahoogroups file section. 1 zipped file with image, cfg file and position details titled 8IPX4DA.zip Cheers David ... ...
Hello list, I am currently at the Visnjan Summer School of Astronomy and have a big problem here. We want to use Astrometrica with USNO-B1.0 but in crowded...
