So I have both running, astrometry as the blind failover option …
The speed of platesolve2 is slow in regards tho astrometry, I have been reading otherwise.
The solve itself is fast, but estimating the background is awful slow … now I do admit these are 72MB fit files from Nikon camera, but that should be the same for both of them, also Platesolve2 consumes much more memory then astrometry … I’m running this on a mini PC with trail bay processor 2GB memory so every MB counts …
So my question is there some optimisation I can do to the settings, there does not seem to be much … ?
