I have a 10Micron Mount and don’t platesolve and it works great. However, I have a rotator and when it rotates 90 degrees, the centre of the picture shifts because of tilt tip. In those case, platesolving makes sense to centre everything.
My question : the offset that is created when platesolving is that kept from one sequence to the next or cancelled for the next sequence? In my case, I would prefer if it is not kept so that I don’t have to platesolve those sequences with no rotation (the offset created earlier should not apply) if they are done after a sequence with platesolving (because of rotator).
If you use a platesolving in a sequence , Voyager will try to center your object inside the max error allowed by your settings. This is true using offset or not. Error/offset are not stored for sure and this will not have sense because it is calculated at each solving.
My scenario was
Sequence 1 : platesolving enabled. Offset created to point
Sequence 2 : Platesolved disabed. When doing pointing without platesolve, I understand from your response that offset from Sequence 1 is not applied - no offset applied.
That would be perfect.
Thank you
Not too sure how the 10u handles syncs but I think you would need to disable syncs in your scenario to avoid the offset from Sequence one not carrying over to a sequence 2 by virtue of the sync.
I have done the same with my paramount, too much time invested in a big mount model for it to be polluted by a sync.
That being the case Sequence 1 pointing accuracy would be dictated by the plate solve parameters. Sequence 2 would be dictated by the pointing accuracy of your 10u and any associated mount modelling.
Thanks. That is exactly what I’m looking for. I have a tilt tip adapter because I’m using AS6200. When rotation is aligned with rotation used to build the model, pointing is perfect (no plate solved needed). If I rate 90 degrees, pointing is off by a few minutes and plate solving is needed. This is driven bu the change in optical angle from the tilt tip plate.
