Astrometry with mount without slew

Astrometry with mount without slew was created by Christophe BONNEFOY

hi,

first of all thank you for ekos and indi, impressive platform!

I am using a very lightweight setup with a star adventurer and a DSLR; so no slew.

I managed to trigger my DSLR with ekos; is there a way to platesolve my pictures and place it on kstar map ? to make sure my framing is what I expect ?

thanks for your help

Hi Christophe,

See the options in the plate solving tab. You can select the action "nothing" which just solves the image and that's it.


HTH, Wouter

Thank you very much for your answerWouter,

I think I also have to use a simulator telescope to have the tab enabled.
I think, with the manual slew of the polar alignment, that I will also be able to do a polar alignment with three consecutive photos, exactly as the polarscope !

Now there are too many clouds to test it :(

Hi Christophe,

Sorry, yes, I forgot to mention that. You need to have a telescope simulator enabled as well.
