Munipack astrometry file(s)Īstrometry action derives astrometry calibration of FITS framesĪstrometry is naturally separated on two parts: (Check focal length, sensor size settings or try FOV=auto once)Įdited by han.k, 10 April 2020 - 10:32 AM.An astrometry calibration of FITS frames. Correct image height in degrees specified within 5% accuracy. Image is not stretched or heavily photo-shopped. An approximate position for a spiral search is specified correctly. Image dimensions at least 1280x960 pixels. I will change the warning level to below 1280x960 since your not the first person asking the question with 1280x960 dimensions. Only the reliability will go down but with a good image it will be no problem. This boundary is a recommendation for people having 20 mpixels camera sensor with the habit to down sample their images to something like 400x300 pixels for speed and solving by ĪSTAP will solve your images even if the dimensions are 800圆00 pixels. I need to solve images coming from a 1280x960 camera but ASTAP says "Warning, too small image!". Is there any change to remove the limits on image size? In case the program doesn't solve the image have look to this checklistĮdited by han59, 01 August 2019 - 05:58 AM. Other program like require only the x,y positions. For solving the program requires the star x,y position and the star flux intensity. For this reason the program doesn't like stretched or highly processed files. To solve the program will automatically take the brightest stars from the image. If checked this will increase the detection reliability but slows down the search speed. This will only work if the image is detailed and sharp.įorce large search window.
#ASTROMETRY SEARCH RADIUS FULL#
Radius search area: This is the radius of the search area up to 180 degrees equals full sky.ĭownsample In most cases the best setting is 2 unless you have small images or very large images.Ĭrop images above: To solve image with a diameter of 15 or 20 degrees, the program will only look to the image center area. For FITS files this image height will be extracted automatically from the FITS header. Image height, In case of a JPEG or CR2 the program needs the image height in degrees within maybe 30% accuracy. After the object is typed or suggested just enter and the image RA,DEC position is loaded from the database as the initial start position.įor solving the program has a few parameters as indicated below: If the object name is in the file name, the program will try to suggest one. You get a small window to enter the imaged object name or one close it. The easiest way is to double click on the RA entry field in the viewer. For solving JPEG or CR2 files in the viewer, the program needs a starting RA,DEC position.
