Hi Herbert - or anyone on the group list - After upgrading to the latest version, I suddenly had a problem loading 32-bit real images that previously loaded...
Hello Bill, I may be of no help to you, but I was able to open both files in the following: CCDSOft v5.00.188 MaxImDL v4.62 MaxImDL v5.01 Both files appeared...
Hi Michael -- Thanks for the detailed analysis! I actually went through most of these steps, but missed one detail. I tested resaving the image using Maxim...
Hi Bill, Glad it helped toward you're discovering the cause of the problem. Your note has prompted me to update to the newest version myself. Thanks! Michael ...
Hello Herbert, After some study, I have reached that conclusion that it is unlikely I can stack images for Astrometrica as well with other program but ...
... I am not sure what causes the difference, but probably it's the way how the various pieces of software handle the sub-pixel alignment (if sub-pixel...
Hello Herbert, The differences are slight, so you're suggestion that it is how sub-pixel alignment is handled makes sense (as you say, if it's even done.) I...
Personally I'd love to see scripting in Astrometrica, especially if it could be accessed from an external application via ActiveX/COM. Gets a vote from me! :)...
... I have proposed that several years ago (2002). Search in the archive for "Astrometrica for Surveys" and you'll find quite a few threads, e.g. this one: ...
Hi Reiner, Yup, I also use PinPoint (via scripting usually). Personally I like to able to compare the results from two or more applications (avoid systemic...
Hello all, With the 4.5.0.372 version of Astrometrica newly installed here, I encountered the fatal error "Floating point overflow". It happens as I click on...
Marc, please download the latest version (V 4.5.1.377) from the Astrometrica web page (http://www.astrometrica.at). This should fix the problem. Cheers,...
I just read the details in IAUC 8974 and noted that Mr. Williams should be congratulated in his efforts on the recovery of two comets. wow [Non-text...
I am trying to learn to use astrometrica and I keep trying to use data reduction on photos but I keep getting an error message that says "no reference stars...
... Just to make sure, because you wrote you are working with "photos": Do you work with CCD images or scanned photograpic images? If you work with scanned...
Can we set an uplimit of the shift of detected moving target? Can we set a search direction ? In other words, as some objects such as main body asteroids,...
... No, but there is a implicite limit for the speed of an object. This limit is set by the speed that would get the object trailed during a single exposure....
Herbert, I was wondering if you made a change to the way the blink function works in 4.5.1.376? I use stack and track and the final images no longer line up. I...
... No, nothing was changed. Please go to the program settings, open the [Program] tab, and go to the [Image Alignment] section. Have a look at the image...
Folks, No doubt the GSC 1.1 is not the preferred catalog due to inaccuracies and lack of proper motion compensation, however, it's what I saved to make...
I have no idea what catalogues can be used by PinPoint. But Astromtrica can use: UCAC2 NOMAD CMC-14 plus USNO-A2 USNO-B1 USNO-SA2 I've grouped them into 2...
Max, note that Astrometrica will query the "big" star catalogues (USNO-B1, NOMAD, CMC-14) via Internet from the VizieR servers, so you don't need to have a...
Thanks much Herbert. Based on what I have learned thus far about your most excellent s/w this seems apparent. I'm a Team Leader for the Tzec Maun Foundation...
