OK Guys - here is where I admit that I should have looked a bit harder before I started this thread. Bisque actually have what I suggested (Damn I'm smart
) the only difference is that they have had it for some years and its is far better and more sophisticated than that which I conjected.
They use plate solve and it will do automatic mapping across the whole sky based on altaz points. You can choose limits in alt and az to eliminate probs with surrounding buildings and also control the density of points.
It will work with TheSky6 and CCDSoft5 and TPoint. You can download an app from Ron Wadowski that will put it all together or you can do it manually. Either way when it is configured it should be able to waltz around the sky mapping while you cool your heels.
