Hello, just a quick heads-up on an update from Han K. - ASTAP got even better! I know a lot of you are using ASTAP for plate solving, for example in N.I.N.A., like I do. This has worked perfectly so far, so why bother looking for updates? So I missed, that, about a year ago, the H18 and H17 star databases were replaced by new and improved star databases. The software has also improved considerably and is now even faster in plate solving! In the past I had some issues when switching over from my 550mm setup to my 135mm gear - ASTAP had difficulties in getting the 135mm images solved. When using the new G05 database both setups solve instantly with no issues whatsoever! So I highly recommend to have a look at the updated software and star databases: http://www.hnsky.org/astap Especially interesting (and highly appreciated!) is the star database usability chart, even with exposure time recommendations: http://www.hnsky.org/astap_database_range3.png Thanks very much Han for this amazing software!
