Polypus 2.07 supports plate solving

In this version plate solving is supported by visual pin point engine. You should install it and GSC catalog on your PC. These installation are not part of Polypus installation. After that in the configuration dialog in the "Plate solving" page you can enable the Pin point engine use, select folder where GSC catalog is and set the frame expansion (in percentage) used for star searching.



In the Photo form a new button is present: "Solving". It is available after a shot is done, even if image not saved. This starts the Pin point action and if the match with catalog.



If the match between image and catalog is found the following page is shown where you can see: numero of stars used from catalog for match, the found coordinates, the frame roll angle and the error between toe current instrument position and shot position.
Pressing the Ok button you can sync the telescope with the found position
