Tutorial or Instructions on how to install Astrometry.net for SGP

FINALLY!!! I got the following link to work:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/config

I once again uninstalled everything and did the following:

  1. Re-install Cygwin64 using default.settings
  2. Install this *.rar from
    Dropbox - Error - Simplify your life
  3. Open the *.rar with 7-zip
  4. Using 7-zip, carefully highlight all files and directories under:
    C:\Users\your username\Downloads\cygwin.rar\cygwin\cygwin\
  5. Drag the highlighted files and directories to C:\cygwin64. Over write all files already on your computer.
  6. Follow instructions from:
    Ansvr-0.13 - add JNow config option - Plate Solving - Main Sequence Software

After executing ansvr server, you should be able to connect to:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/config

If you cannot connect, then there’s something wrong.

What a nightmare but what do you expect from free software.

My next test is to try it out under the dark sky but it’s currently cloudy. Must be a “Finally got it to working” curse.
