Plate solving for Startrackers | NINA and Stellarium

Показать описание
This tutorial video explains plate solving for star trackers like SWSA or SkyGuiderPro with no ascom driver.

Without ascom drivers and a go-to feature it can be quiet tough to find faint objects from Light polluted skies. Many hours can be wasted. To solve this problem I have made this video.

Video parts:

0:00 introduction
0:15 initial setup
2:55 Plate solving
6:43 Ending

Installation:
You would need NINA Beta version and stellarium installed as a prerequisite.
ASTAP: (make sure to install the star catalogue along with the program)
ASCOM platforms:

Boom! Just what I was looking for, minus the background music.

I really have no idea why is this the only tutorial to solve that problem on YT. And why you only have 909 views on this video...This was literally the last step to figure about Star Adventurer and saving my kneck from being broken. Now I can stop watching yoga tutorials and start doing some astrophotography like a boss. Thanks for this.

Thank you very much for this !
I only have a problem that I can’t figure out, Stelarium keeps crashing after plate solving (when I enable sync and slew), can’t figure out why it’s doing this

Going to try tonight. If it works, magic!
Wonder if this method could be used with 3 star polar alignment?

Very good explanation! Thank you! Now, I want to try all this without having access to the sky, how do I upload a preview image to NINA? It must be from the Simulated Camera side, but I can't do it...

Is there a way to syncs the solved image to the mount each time as you did initially with slew?

In Stellarium, when I click on Load at Startup in Telescopes, the configure button is greyed out, I can;t click on it!
