Sequence and wide field imaging

Hi,

 

yesterday I tried to use sequence with a very short focal length (80mm lens and KAF8300).

 

Unfortunately sequence couldn't plate solve any image !  :(

 

Maybe this is because I only adjusted the Plate Parameters Horiz Scale and Vert Scale?

Do I have to adjust any other parameters?

 

Who can help me ?

 

Thanx,

Ralph

Ok, folks,

 

here's the solution:

 

you have to set the parameter Max. Magnitude in the plate solve settings down to 11.

 

Why?

 

Well, since sequence only reported an error with solving the plate but didn't tell which error I switched to the pinpoint GUI and tried to solve the plate there. Here I got a clear error message which said that there are too many stars (due to the wide field). So I reduced the max magnitude until the error message disappeared in pinpoint.

 

But there was another challenge ahead of me....

 

When I switched back to sequence and changed the parameter there, I still got the error message. It took me another hour to find out that the changes only take effect after you save the settings !

 

Best regards,

Ralph
