So I try different exposure time and official focal length and the 0mm focal length. I used my redcat 51mm with the same mount a CGX and it works fine due of a large quantity of stars to detect. I spend nearly 3 hours to find out what's wrong.
#PLATE SOLVING ONLINE PRO#
I try yesterday few things to understand why the plate solving do not work at all with my RC 2000/254 with my asi 294 mc pro Asiair non pro. With an image, we can at least narrow down the thousands of possibility why plate solving failed for you.
Without the image that you are trying to solve, I am really flying blindly making guesses. It would be better if you could post an image we can look at. You have to be really unlucky (like winning the lottery type of chance) that hot pixels form a known asterism of real stars. But I am under the impression that ASIAIR should be rejecting bad pixels (easy to do) before it plate solves. One reason could be that there is some hot pixels that ASIAIR is mistaking for a known asterism of stars (you can check if it is doing that by capping your telescope, even in the daytime). If the intermediate screen is showing zero, then ASIAIR is always solving to some silly focal length instead of starting at some silly focal length. That screen will show the focal length ASIAIR is starting at. When it is trying it, you will see an intermediate screen. It seems that your root problem is not being able to start plate solving at some reasonable focal length (or zero).Ĭheck carefully again when ASIAIR is plate solving. if ASIAIR did not take "0" as the starting focal length, it also may not take the focal length that you derived from. It will return a plate scale, and from there, knowing your own camera's pixel pitch, you can derive the true focal length. It takes a little longer (sometime a few minutes, when their computer is overloaded), but if will not solve, practically nothing else will.Ī will not return the focal length since it does not know what sensor/camera you are using. It will accept virtually any image format (from JPEG to PNG to TIFF to FITS). Have you tried sending the captured image to ? There is a web tool at to plate solve.
It seems that plate solve does not even have a chance to start with a focal length of 0. However, from your description, ASIAIR is plate solving by starting with a ridiculous focal length. A narrowband filter will often improve it, as long as you bump the exposure time up to capture sufficient stars. In general, the answer is yes (the Moon will reduce the signal to noise ratio and thereby make star detection problem more difficult).

Rfulen01 Also this was during a full moon so do you think the excessing light could have been an issue?
