Hi folks
I try yesterday few things to understand why the plate solving do not work at all with my RC 2000/254 with my asi 294 mc pro Asiair non pro.
I spend nearly 3 hours to find out what's wrong.
I used my redcat 51mm with the same mount a CGX and it works fine due of a large quantity of stars to detect.
So I try different exposure time and official focal length and the 0mm focal length.
It does found in average 180 stars with the gain on max and the exposure time on 10 sec!
Strangely for any reason rarely it get a plate solve in less a sec with 210 stars found. This is all about to use the PA in that area are less stars indeed. For any reason it found a solution after 8.4 sec of plate solving to know where it is and did the 60° tilt of the mount and after it was lost again it could not solve any plate anymore. I stopped after 2 hours of testing focal length and exposure time but nothing. That one was a chance just because it found in the area enough stars.
But it should recognise the patern of the stars too what it did before without problems before this upgrade.
So for shure there is a patern issue with the plate solving on larger telescope specialy on longer focal length.
The POV is 0.55° x 0.37°
I hope this helps Zwo to find a solution.
Kind regards.
