Rough focus, then GoTo bright named starĤ. Pretty much - except, worth checking out the focusing with a Bahtinov mask & using APT's 'Bahtinov Aid' under the 'Tools' menu.Ģ. Sync those coordinates back to the mount? APT can already talk to it, so should be good there.ĥ.

just need a clear night to try it while APT is actually hooked up to my AZ GTI (EQ). Tested some older images, solved in a few seconds. such a good tutorial.Īlso did the extra bit that been added to APT since (ASTAP) I wouldn’t worry camera needs connection then you will find all is well, I pa first then take an image say 5 sec using shoot button setting iso at 1600, blind solve from home position, some say not to and move scope to another part of sky, I never really had a problem personally, sync mount then use the objects via go to++ making sure the sync coordinates are in the re/dec box on go to++ before choosing your target then choose target and watch the magic happen, platesolving is magic go to++ is even better it leaves target on the centre and if you need to move centre to suit use the aim button then you can save those coordinates as a custom target for net time. The sensor in the 100D is bigger than the 6.7mm x 5.3mm the Object Calculator says. However the CCD pixel and CCD Width x Height seem wrong so seems pretty useful, has your camera, scope folcal length then you pick and object and it gives you an idea of the size I also played with the Object Calculator.
