Hi, I am a NINA contributor and implemented the 10u model building plugin. Is there a "high precision" mode for ASTAP that I can use during model building, or do you otherwise have any recommendations for settings to use during? I'm not having issues with model building at the moment, but I figured if there's something I can do to squeak out a bit more during it may be time well spent.

Thanks!

Hello George,

ASTAP is currently always in high precession mode. There is nothing to tune. More then a year ago there was a request (by some 10 micron users) to optimise the accuracy.

At first locks it locks likely with a part of the image (becausese you have to step through the database) but with that position it does a second solve using this first solution and utilises all available image stars. The error is a fraction of a pixel simular as Astrometry.net

Cheers, Han
