Hi,
I have been platesolving for a good 10 years with all sorts of gear and applications, but I’ve never seen this. 80% of the time plate solve will work, event with large errors. I don’t want to brag, but I know how to tune my gear
But sometime, when the plate solver takes several steps to adjust the centering, it takes a picture BEFORE the scope has finish slewing, resulting in star streaks which, you can understand, will most likely result in a fail plate solve.
I use ASTAP with SGP 3.2.0.613.
I have a Quattro 10’’ newton on a NEQ6, it’s a light-heavy setup with some inertia. I have a quite large periodic error and backlash that I intend to fix in a much needed hypertune in 2021.
In the meantime, I was wondering if it was possible to instruct ASTAP to wait 1 second between slew and picture taking.
I will also look into EQMOD to see if it can wait before sending a “I finished slewing” confirmation, if such thing is possible.
