1. I'm getting quite a few 'HTTP Access failed: Read Timeout' messages when I do a 'Data Reduction'. 2. After I do my first 'Data Reduction' run on an image, I...
I have occasionally experienced the 'Invalid floating point operation.' Cause unknown, but the program does have to be reloaded to overcome it - which suggests...
I, too, have seen these errors. Mostly (I think) when I click outside the image under some circumstance. In my installation, however, this is not a fatal error...

I read this with interest - and particularly the explanation for the error and the oversan issue. But I can't find where in Astrometrica to set the 'oversan' ...

Herbert =- thanks for the off-line info about how to specify the oversan regions in the cfg file. I just thought I would mention the situation I have just...
I enjoy doing long exposure photography of paritcularly faint objects, mag 18+ galaxies etc. Some times I like to then put the images through Astrometrica to...

Sorry for the mis-identification - a 'senior' moment! But the need to have the means to easily change the Vizier server is quite real. Dave Herald Canberra,...
Hello Herbert, is it possible that Astrometrica does not only get the filename from where to load comet orbital elements from the entry "CMTOrbFile=" in a...
... Roger, In the ideal situation, (filtered images, bright stars say 4-6 mags brighter than the plate limit) Astrometrica can be accurate to about +/-0.10...
I think we have to choose words carefully. Astrometrica may be intrinsically 'accurate to about 0.1 mag' but few, if any, catalogs are. Over the years I ...
Hi to everyone. I'm a new user of Astrometrica, and in the near future I'm going to buy a license of it, but, for the moment, I've a little question. I've, at...
The list of compatible catalogs is in the Program section of the Astrometrica setup. It contains USNO 2.0 and UCAC2. GSC is no longer accepted (or not...
