Glad I read your reply before repeating essentially what you are saying... Just for emphasis: the binning is done by the image acquisition software. The...
Reiner, I have just completed (17:56 Central European Time) resolving 22 plates using the primary Vizier server (the default one that Astrometrica uses) with...
... I got only small files from the primary one, from Harvard and Canada. Finally the one on Hawaii worked, i.e. it returned large files with the full...
Hi Ladislav, ... software. Binning can be done, at the hardware level by the camera's hardware (on-chip), by the imaging software at the acquisition time or...
Thanks. I am somewhat aware of all that but I never used binning other than in the camera. One of the reasons is that downloading of images is significantly...

Herbert, something goes badly wrong recently. I have a field tonight centered at 10 00 00 +20 00 00 and it downloaded the USNO-B1.0 file, however he can't seem...
Reiner and all, I just tried a manual query at the Harvard VizieR server. While the format is OK, but while the B1 magnitudes seem to be OK, too, the B2, R1,...
Hi all, I'm not getting much success with plate solving. I've read the docs, but wondering if someone might be kind enough to look at my image file and advise...
I've had look using : FL 4200 +/-5% Pixel 9um Position Angle 0+/-10 Pointing 10' Also both flips enabled. If you need the full cfg file give me your e-mail. ...
thanks Juan and John. The camera has 9u pixels, but I was binning 2x2, so wouldn't I enter the value as 18u for this image? or do I need to enter the unbinned ...
... This has caused confusion before. Binning info is often included in the keywords in the fits header, and I believe the program checks that. When you ...
I had a brief problem with the 'binned' (?) keyword after I updated my version of Astrometrica. I believe Herbert told us about this update but I somehow...

Dear friends, Has anyone of you a suggestion (documents, links, etc.) about the guide star acquisition system in a fully robotic observatory? Many thanks in...
I do not quite understand what 'fully robotic' means. I do 95% of my observations by remote control but guide star acquisition usually requires (on my ST8 with...
I'm no professional but my setup is fully robotic (and semi remote in that it is in a garden shed in my backyard and controlled from the house). It's not as...
My point really was that one has to locate the guide start kind of manually (albeit by remote control). You say 'with a guide scope FOV of 28 x 36 arcmin it's...
Um - No. I list targets in a plan. I load the plan into my software. I press the go button and I have not further interaction with my observatory, scope,...
Thanks for the additional details. I do not what your setup exactly is. It contains some kind of search routine for a guide star - all that may be of a ...
It's actually nothing special - the auto aquire of guide star is a function of Maxim Dl/CCD 4 - fully scriptable. Note that this is ALL off the shelf -...
