I have installed the g18 set of ASTAP indexes. Hence my need to get the Local version working. However, it fails to solve some of my Abell images that have few stars, but these images have all been solved successfully by the on-line Astrometry.Net. Normally I would use ASTAP exclusively because it is quite good. Using F:\xxx I expected NINA to tell me that F:\xxx does not exist. The error message is exactly the same for all three of these. I have tried all these variations:į:\cygwin\usr\share\astrometry\data (where the index files reside) It is Abell79 which has a lot of stars, with the same 22'x15' FOV.įurther indications that NINA is not calling Astrometry.Net: The contents of "Cygwin Directory" do not seem to have any effect on using this feature. My example shows The solution ASTAP got in the background. Here is an easy example to use for this, which ASTAP solves in 1 second. ASTAP found them easily and solved this image within 1 second. There is clearly no call to Astrometry.Net (Local) to try to solve this image. "taken" implies that the program is going to "take" a new image.Īnyway, the error message pops up immediately. BTW, its important to change "taken" to "used". This error pops up instantly when I accept YES for "taken" the coordinates. I conclude this because no matter what combination of settings I use, I always get the same error message: "Platesolve failed to retrieve coordinates for image". Here is the problem: the Local copy of Astrometry.Net does not appear to be called correctly by NINA. I have installed all the indexes, as recommended, down to 4202, although that is irrelevant to the problem.
Also fails in the same way using All Sky Plate Solver to call it.
The Local Platesolver for Astrometry.Net does not function in NINA.
