Which star maps for ASTAP
Hi, I am thinking about giving ASTAP a go for image solving in Pointcraft, a program inside Astro Photography Tool.
Just looking over the recommendations for which star map to use, they give you two maps, H17 star database or the H18 Star Database
They say to go with the H18 star database if you fov is less than 1 degree.
So i am having a bit of trouble trying to work out what my actual fov of view is.
Scope is Skywatcher Evostar 150ED and camera is ASI2600MC
Looking at astronomy.tools, when i enter the details i get an answer of
field of view of 1.12° x 0.75°
I kind of worked it out to be 1.12° X 0.83°
Not sure if i am correct or not, but dose simply mean that the field of view that i have is 0.93° ( 1.12 x 0.83 )
