SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the use of Canopus Astrometry version 9.0.1.1, specifically regarding its "auto astrometry" function for detecting faint 19th V magnitude asteroids. Users express difficulty in navigating the updated interface compared to older versions and seek guidance on parameter settings for optimal detection. The need for tutorials or user experiences is emphasized, indicating a gap in available resources for this specific version of the software.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Canopus Astrometry software
  • Understanding of astrometry principles
  • Knowledge of V magnitude scale in astronomy
  • Basic experience with astronomical imaging techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the "auto astrometry" function in Canopus Astrometry 9.0.1.1
  • Look for tutorials specifically addressing faint asteroid detection
  • Explore parameter settings for optimal performance in astrometry software
  • Join astronomy forums to connect with experienced Canopus users
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, astrophotographers, and enthusiasts interested in detecting faint asteroids using Canopus Astrometry software.

Well I'm not entirely sure if this is the right section, but it seemed better than placing it in the Astronomy section because I am requiring some assistance.

I'm wondering if anybody has used the astrometry software CANOPUS version 9.0.1.1?

I've been looking all over for some information on how to use the "auto astrometry" function. It was apparently well labelled in an older edition, but the new version is difficult to know which function I use. I think I have found the function, but it would be really helpful to know what I need to set some of the parameters to in order to detect the faint 19th V magnitude asteroids.

If anyone has ever used it and has come across a good tutorial or wouldn't mind explaining some things to me I'd greatly appreciate it.

I haven't used it, but actually, I think you would have a better chance of finding somebody who has in the astronomy section.
 
haha yeah a probably a better chance there, but I wasn't sure if that was violating the PF rules.

I'll re-post this there anyway.

Thanks :)
