The "Image of the Month" for November 2004 is now online at the Astrometrica web site, http://www.astrometrica.at. Click on the thumbnail image on the menu bar...
I have some CCD images taken with a V filter of variable stars. Can Astrometrica generate accurate values for the magnitude of the star as it changes?...
Hi, Martin I've taken quite a few images of variable stars and reduced the positions, mag, with Astrometrica. Just in my experience, I find it interesting to...
Hello, I am new here plus new to this program. I have some pics I have been looking at and when I went to hit the Astrometry button to get the measurements I...
Yes and no. Accurate is a relative term. -John ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best...
I think it's probably looking for the reference star catalog. Which one were you planning to use? -John ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? ...
Becky, another thing to consider is, if you are using actual photos taken yourself then you will need to change the settings in the preferences tab, so that...
Hello, Does anyone from this list make survey observations using a small lenses. It can be nova survey, wide field comet searching etc. I have problem with...

Hi I have all the right information for the scope that the pics were taken with. I thinkall the paths are right in the one box that has the lists of where the...
... Please consider these questions which would help to locate the problem: * Does it work with the Tutorial Images? * What star catalogue did you select for...
Hi Herbert, OK I brought up the program and this is what excatly is going on. I have loaded the pics (not the ones in the tuts) these are from another scope....
Becky, Are you saying that you have no idea what the coordinates of your pictures are? Even approximately? You HAVE to put some coordinates there. There is no ...
... But does this explain why an error like ""I/O-Error3 writting the system cant find the path specified" appears? No. Even with totally wrong coordinates no...
... Did you specify a path that leads to a directory where you have no write permission? E.g. the path to the images, for which you want to auto-save the WCS?...
Reiner, I think you are correct. It is just a question of step-by-step approach. NOTHING can ever be done WITHOUT coordinates. If the i/o error persists even ...
The coord are there. what I am having problems with is the same box that shows the coord asks for an object name. This is where I am stuck and cant get passed....
... If the Tutrial images worked, please compare the paths specified for the Tutorials and the paths in the settings you currently use. I still assume that...
The first thing that is written to the disk, immediately after you press the [OK] key in the window where you enter the coordinates, is a few lines in the LOG...
The 'object' box is meant for retrieval of coordinates of an asteroid or a comet from their respective files (MPCORB.DAT, COMET.DAT). If you do NOT have an...
OK let me ask this. It may sound like a dumb question but in my program settings the star catalog line has the USNOA2.0 one and in the output it just says...
... There is a combo box on the "Program" tab of the settings where you can choose the star catalog that you want to use. You can select the USNO-A2.0 there,...
I believe that, first of all, the directories MUST exist. If you selected them through the tool utility, they WILL exist. Astrometrica is nowadays installed in...
Thanks Guys, I know the problem now and understand what Ineed to do do fix it. Now comes the next question where do I find the catalogs on CD-ROM. Thanks Becky...
Not that easy. USNO stopped distributing USNO A2.0 on CD ROMs some time ago. I managed to download it from their Flagstaff site over internet (with DSL - even...
The UCAC2 would probably be the prefered choise if your field of view is larger than about 10 arc minutes square and the areas you are measuring are below 45...
Hi Guys, Question for you all, How can I use this program without having the star catalogs in the puter or dont have them on a CD-Rom or DVD. I have heard this...
The answer was in the last two responses. See below. -John ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail...
You can request via email a copy of the UCAC2 on CD-Rom from the US Naval Obs. details for making the request are at: http://ad.usno.navy.mil/ucac/ or as I...
OK Guys, Let me ask you this. If I change he path for the star catalogs to USNOB.1 will the program work and if so will it work and do I have to dl the...
Hi Becky: You just have to be connected to the Internet and the program will download the zone of the sky correspondig to you're picture. With the USNOB you...
