All Sky Plate solve

Heres a free nifty new app that plate solves an image anywhere in the sky.

It needs Maxim DL and full pinpoint.

The only parameters it requires is plate scale (FL and pixel size), which it can extract from the image FITs file. The image can be from anywhere in the sky with any rotation angle.

Its called SkySolve . Processing time can take from minuites to DAYS though , depending on the FOV.
