Ivo has released version 4.20 of Astro Photography Tool (APT). Check out all the changes here: https://www.astrophotography.app/usersguide/what_is_new_.htm

I'm finding the new support for PlateSolve 3 in PointCraft to be much faster than any other options (at least on my system) but it is a 5GB download/install.

On another note, there is also a new update to ASTAP, including changes to the databases it uses for plate solving. https://www.hnsky.org/astap.htm

Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Thanks
I received my email from Ivo last night
I don’t plate solve or use APT to control tracking and Goto so there’s no point me upgrading
I just use APT for Capture (live view , framing , focus , PHD2 dithering , histogram , CCD flats Aid ) and eventually Focus wheel when I go Mono

Cheers
Martin
