Image Plate Solve Script

[cbradshaw]

I can save to an icon and I can drag the entire header to another image, but I cannot drag a single keyword from one image to another.  Perhaps I misunderstood the context.

Thanks,

Charlie

I forgot to add that I really like the script.  It is brilliant.

I may have found a bug in this very usefull script.

I'm imaging around RA = 0 and get this output

I think the script return a negative RA value that cause an error

Hi Martin,

are you using the last version (v1.6)?. I think that I fixed this problem some time ago. You can find it in the first post of this thread: http://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?topic=3966.0

If you are already using the last version, I would need the image to be able of reproduce the problem.

Andrés.

Hi Andres

I had a previous version (1.5.2 I think) I tought this script was updated with the PI update process. Anyway I got the last version and I have to test it tonight.


Thanks for both this script and the anotation script. They are both very valuable to me.

Martin

I have written a detailed help file for ImageSolver. It covers the basic use of the script and what to do when there are problems.

It will be available from the update system in a few weeks. Meanwhile, I have generated a PDF with its contents that can be found in this other thread:

Andres, I'm running into some rendering issues within the script windows for Image Solver and Catalog Star Generator.  I'm running Pixinsight 1.8.0 1071 on Mac OS X 10.7.5 on a MacBook Pro.

Attached are screen captures of the issues I'm seeing.

Hi Craig,

I haven't a Mac so I can't test the scripts in OS X. However, since they work well in Windows and Linux, the problem probably is in PixInsight (or in one of the libraries it uses) and not in the scripts.

Have you tried the latest versions of the scripts distributed with PI 1.8.1?

[Josh Lake]

I've run into that as well, a 'pinched' field at certain resolutions (usually when showing PI on a projector). If the script window could be resized, I bet it would expand and be visible.

Craig, have you tried changing your resolution? But I agree that this issue needs to be adjusted somehow.

What OS and PI version are you using Josh?

[Juan Conejero]

I cannot reproduce this problem on any platform, including Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.8. What screen resolution do you have?

[cs_pixinsight]

All, I have a my laptop set to 1440 x 900.  I also have a thunderbolt display running at 2560 x 1440 as a secondary monitor.  Both show the same issue.  I have tried a resolution of 1344 x 840 on the laptop screen and 2048 x 1152 on the thunderbolt display and I still see the same rendering issues.

I'll download PI 1.8.1 when a version that will work with my OS is available and retest.

A version for Mac OS X 10.6/10.7 is already available since yesterday, both on Software Distribution and Endor.

I have Mac OS X 10.6 and cannot reproduce this problem. Screen issues on Mac OS X are always infuriating....

[cs_pixinsight]

I just retested with build 1079 of PI 1.8.1 and the latest versions of the scripts.  They still render incorrectly, but Catalog Star Generator actually got worse.
