Defines the path to Astrometric STAking Program (ASTAP) application. Use the "..." button to open the folder selection dialog box. The download button navigates the web page for ASTAP downloading.
ASTAP can be used for both Near and Blind solving. Also it can be used for measuring HFD in Focus Craft, by selecting Use ASTAP in the Settings.
Defines the path to PlateSlove2 (PS2) application. Use the "..." button to open the folder selection dialog box. The download button navigates the web page for PS2 downloading.
Defines the path to PlateSlove3 (PS3) application. Use the "..." button to open the folder selection dialog box. The download button navigates the web page for PS3 downloading.
Defines the path to All Sky Plate Solver (ASPS) application. Use the "..." button to open the folder selection dialog box. The download button navigates the web page for ASPS downloading.
ASPS can be used for both Near and Blind solving, but Near solving is slower than the other option.
Defines how many seconds to wait after GoTo++ before taking the next image for position confirmation. Some mounts can require time to settle down after a movement.
When enabled the GoTo++ will use the current telescope position and the calculated position error to find the coordinates for the next attempt to center the desired coordinates. It is recommended to enable this option.
When disabled the GoTo++ will make direct attempt to center the desired coordinates. Disable this option if your telescope is able to make very precise movements. When this option is disabled it is recommended to uncheck the "No Auto Sync" option too.
Defines what offset to apply when GoTo++ is executed. It is useful when you use view finder or other scope for pointing the main scope but there is misalignment between the two instruments. For example using finder with camera to point visual telescope.
Defines what solving method to use when Auto button is used. 'Always Ask' gives possibility to select the method on every use of Auto. It is also possible force using Near or Blind solving without asking.
Defines how long to be the imaging exposure for GoTo++, Auto, and Automated Meridian Flip. There are several options to control the exposure. Here is the priority (top is first)
Defines the gain value to use to use for GoTo++. If there is a value here it is used as top priority. If it is empty, gain per filter is second, the gain set in Camera Tab last.
When enabled PointCraft will solve the un-stretched version of current image. This option has effect only in DSLR mode. Histogram stretching can make DSLR images harder or impossible to be solved.
