If I am only using ASTAP to Stack , do I still need to download a Star data base ??

Thanks

Hi Martin,

For stacking it is not required as long your are using the standard star alignment.

For things like deep sky annotation, the solving of an image is required and it would require a star database . It will report then "star database missing".

Thanks Han
When Stacking I only use standard Star Alignment as I dont plate solve
Goto / navigation by sync point alignment sky modelling ( EQMOD ) N point and 3 point.
