Thank you for this! Ever since I updated to 1.2.0RC Siril won't plate solve anything. Same thing on 1.2.0. Set this up and it worked first try!

Great tutorial, thanks! Bonus trick: DownThemAll supports regex in the quick filter input box so something like /(index-520(4|5|6)-.*\.fits)$/ would add all index-5204-* to index-5206-* files without you having to manually pick these.

Thanks! Great tip! I didn't think to try regex, but I didn't manually pick them either. You must have fast-forwarded through the part. 😉

Great topic! I have Blind Plate Solving in my control software’s Alignment module. I haven’t seen this in Siril, I suppose that is because all of my fits images have astometry data embedded already from capture.

Thanks! Yeah it'll be useful for those without the data in the files, and those times when PCC fails. Been meaning to cover this for a while now.

Great video, as always. I don't know if you take requests, but I'd love to see a tutorial on adding Ha to RGB data using Siril, doesn't seem like there are any tutorials out there for Siril on this topic.

Thanks! Funny you mentioned that. I've been working on the best way to do that, just haven't gotten there yet. So hopefully someday I'll have one uploaded.

What should I put in Aperture if I use a camera lens? Becuase in the calculator it's in mm insted of F stops. Thanks

@DeepSpaceAstro

It would be the diameter of your lens in mm. It should be marked on your lens. For example I have a Canon 75-300 zoom lens and it's diameter is marked 58mm.

Any idea how to do the same on macOS?

@DeepSpaceAstro

7 ай бұрын

I don't have a Mac, but the process should be the same. Just point Siril to wherever you have the files.

Thanks for the tutorial. Are there any similar solutions for mac machines? Seems like ansvr is Windows only.

I spoke to the devs and they're adding instructions for Mac users to the documentation, but it'll probably be a few days. This is what they will be pointing to: For MacOS, please follow the instructions from `this page: `_. Scroll down to the `Installing the Astrometry.net software` section, install and add it to the ``PATH``. Also make sure that the program works for the test images, as indicated in the instructions, and outside of Siril.

Can this be used for widefield MW shots? I'm trying to plate solve for annotating my widefield shots but it keeps failing.

Something with that wide of FOV may have issues plate solving. Haven't tried that myself, so best I can say is give it shot.

No Mac love :(

Sorry. I don't have access to a Mac. It looks like Astrometry.net can be installed with Homebrew, but not really sure.

I don't know what I've done, but I seem to have buggered it up and it doesn't work at all.

@@DeepSpaceAstro Disregard my previous comment,. it's not working after all. It's just saying Plate Solving Failed. The image could not be aligned with the reference stars. I did mess around in the settings with the folders in the Local Star Catalogue (Siril Settings) and now it's saying "None". I've tried to change them to the location of the astrometry files but no luck.

Sorry, you lost me. Auto-downloader? I'm talking about trying another set of data/images that you've taken, and tried to plate solve those.

Jump cuts and I'm gone.
