ASTAP settings error

Hi - I am thinking to try ASTAP following a different post where Joel mentioned it. I’ve downloaded and installed this:
G17 star database installer

but when I go to the equipment profile manager, select ASTAP and click settings, I get Error Failed to open ASTAP options!.
Do I need to set up a path somewhere perhaps?

thanks
Paul

ok no prob, I sorted it. I had not installed the ASTAP application.

My bad Paul, I think I told you the ASTAP program was installed with SGP, which it is not. Obviously you need to install both the application and the G17 astrometric index. Glad you got it working!

No prob Joel. I’m giving it a try out on some saved images. Just reading the help page though, item 1 in the checklist for successful solving indicates it needs an object hint, so probably not going to replace the ANSVR blind solver.
