Windows will ask you to confirm you want that port open.
#Plate solving software software
One other thing - make sure port 1499 is open in BYEOS - otherwise the two pieces of software can't talk to each other. I completely deleted and reloaded AT Saturday afternoon and AT behaved perfectly Saturday night. It was solving, but with the target off to the left of the BYEOS target/focusing circle. BYEO had startup licensing issues, which I quickly fixed, but AT was just a mess. I did have some weird errors with AT after my laptop was upgraded Friday to Win 10 1903. I deleted the settings in the option line - they were redundantly "wrong" - lol. My "stupid stick" error was I had a discrepancy between the settings of the -L and -H values in the option line, and what the settings were for the Scale Min and Scale Max. One suggestion as a starting point, is to take an image from the preview folder where BYEOS (I also use that for camera control) stores the images requested by AT and upload it to and see if it solves. It was interesting that one had downscaling set to "0" the other had it set to "1", but both configurations worked. Stash and Martin both jumped in to help me and included some screenshots of their settings which also helped. You also might look back thru this discussion. One of the very helpful replies referred to this tutorial - which was helpful. Your experiences sound like what I was struggling with two weeks ago. What other plate solving software tools do you use? I would prefer something offline, like astrotortilla, but if an internet connection is required I'm fine with that too.Īnother question on AstroTortilla - the website shows software from about 2014 and a beta from 2016 - is it still being actively developed ? Edited Octoby TerryMcK I probably need to re-install it again but. Having said that it is flakey probably due to my installation. Even changing the parameters to arcsecperpix works very occassionally - that seems to have been the most reliable.

However it does not always work and when I try goto image, load a TIF and let it plate solve it rarely works. I've installed and configured AstroTortilla and had varying degrees of success with it. This has probably been asked many, many times before but I am interested in what other members have had success with.
