Hi Everyone,

I've setup my ASI 178 with a CCTV lens (50mm) and the FOV is 510 arcmin * 343.2 arcmin
I'm attempting to use the polar alignment assistant tool and knowing that it requires platesolve to work.
At my observing site (which is a remote site) there're trees blocking part of the view (see picture attached).

So my question is that if part of the view is blocked, would this affect the platesolve?
