Hi All, I am not a frequent user of Astrometrica. So I have no big practice. My latest attempt was to find the exact focal length of a new OTA. But it fails. ...
Hello Gert, this is apparently the problem with the VizieR server we have discussed here a while ago. Please download the latest update (Version 4.4.2.366). ...
Hello Herbert, No success, yet. I installed the upgrade ZIP package. Version is now 4.4.2.366. I set internet VizieR mirror to CfA at Harvard. The bug is the...
Hello Gert, do you have a firewall that cuts the http-connection? Did you try another mirror site? Is anyone else having problems with the VizieR query? I just...
Herbert, ... There *is* a problem with the VizierR query and USNO-B1.0, but it will be hard to nail it down. I get it since many years (many versions?) but I...
My solution to this problem is to clear the cache, and then re-download the stars for the 2nd set of images. Dave Herald Canberra, Australia ... From: "Reiner...
... Can you put the images somewhere for me to download? 36 images in a mail messages seem to be quite huge... :-) But obviously, this problem is something...
I have no problems... I usually works with UCAC (NEOS) and USNO (Photometry-Comets), but with USNO B1 I have no problems downloading catalog... Greetings, Juan...
Herbert, I processed a set of images early Sunday morning (California) and another set early Monday. No problems. I was using USNO B1 from the MPC mirror. I...

Hello Herbert, I do run Zonealram V7 which is pretty standard. I am not going to turn the firewall off. Many programs work fine with it. Is there a way I can...
Just my two cents.. It seems that zonealarm is preventing you from doing what you need to do. Since you only need astrometrica temporarily, why don't you try...
Http status codes are at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes 302 message means something to do with a redirect so the web address being...
... Pack the image (together with the configurations file you haves used, which should include the correct focal length, CCD pixels size and such...) in a ZIP...
Hello Experts, I am still trying to figure out the focal length of my system+reducer combo. So at issue is the knowledge of the exact physical dimensions of...
Hello Herbert, The data is at : http://www.trivalleystargazers.org/gert/download/Astrometrica.zip The config file contains a 'guess' for the focal length. It...
Gert, I converted your image to 16 bit (from 32), and it processed with no problems. Your focal length for this image was 2190.9 mm, with rotation of 3.1...

Hi Gert, I took the liberty of having a look at your image I could not solve your file automatically, nor in MaximDl (pinpoint) nor in Teleauto. I've done a...
Helo All, Special THANK YOU to Gerald McKeegan for resolving the issue. Together with him I also learned how to fix Zonealarm7 to allow astrometric to function...
... I tried your image to fix this. As it turned out, it was not a problem with the 32 bit format. The problem was that the FITS header of your original image...

Hi to all! I've had a Problem with the Vizier Server => Minor Planet and Cambridge UK. I have the UCAC at my lokal PC and Laptop. But sometimes I need the USNO...
For the last several months I've been having an occasional problem with track and stack, where I have two or more images that I can solve individually, but...
... This would indicate that Astrometrica can't align the images properly. If my assumption is correct, then the images also would not align if you try to...
... It blinks them. It was a windy night so there were some guiding issues with the second image (brighter stars show a faint second image), so the alignment...
John, one more setting you can check is the magnitude range for the reference stars ("Upper Limit" and "Lower Limit" for the Star Catalogue on the [Program]...
I checked and the saturated stars start at about magnitude 13.5, so I set the upper limit to 14. I still get the same behavior. If the # of alignment stars...
John, please pack a set of two images that won'rt align, together with the configurations file you use, in a ZIP file and put it on some server for me to down-...
John, I downloaded the files, gave it a quick try, and here is what I found: I first tried to solve the two images together (not stacked, but as two seperate...
John, I took a look at these files and here is what I found: 1. Changed the upper magnitude limit for the Star Catalog to 8.0 2. Change the number of alignment...
