Re: Plate solving to build a model, Gemini 2

Hi Allen
>>>I find that if I make a good model with the Gemini 2 it can be used again and again until I do something to screw it up.? The accuracy of a good model places the object within about 10% of the center of the field. ? Im getting ready to start with my most recently acquired camera ? ZWO ?178 MC ? with 2.4? pixels. ?on Jupiter and the other planets. ? ?
Yes, but after the initial plate solve, subsequent plate solves will be much more accurate because the model is now sync'd (I assume ASIAir performs a sync, but maybe that's a bad assumption?)?
>>>>Can you center a planet using plate solving?
Not to my knowledge, no
