Hello ThemosTsikas,
I tried to install PPA on my Raspberry pi3. Astrometry was installed on my raspri and it could make offline plate solve using shell 'solve-field' but the Local plate solve is not enable and dimmed. How can I enable the button for local plate solve.
Thanks !!

Hi Themos,
The weather is not allow me to use your great PPA so I test it using your photo v.jpg and h.jpg.
When I tried to find polar axis using local plate-solving (astrometry.net under my Raspi), it indicated "wrong parity" but it was fine when using on-line plate-solving.
By the way, it was fine for using other "horiz" and "vert". I don't know how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance =)

Hi
Can you consider add offline local astrometry installation support ?

Suggestions: 5' , 10' etc for the circles, "ncp"/"scp" for the celestial pole "ra" for the axis mount. Also, green is not so nice on some noisy backgrounds.

The user could add any text they would like to appear to remind them of move procedures: how many arcminutes is a turn of the bolt, which bolt for what direction, image scales for commonly used setups.

AndyKeogh would like to see moves displayed as decimal arcminutes.

Hi,

Thanks very much for creating this project. I had some troubles staring up because of sheer lack of documentation. In the end I managed to find this forum post:

which at least helped me get started. I'll start trying this out with my mount and camera as soon as the sky allows for it :)

Cheers, Wouter

Perhsaps it would be better to record (on the GUI window) all the Directions/Angle instructions so far. A new Polar Axis solve would clear the list, but an Improve would add a new line of instructions.

A window should pop up if any modules are not present, maybe telling the user how to install them.
