Using CANOPUS 9.0.1.1 for Auto-Astrometry: Tips & Tutorials

[big man]

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 doesn't clearly label what funtion performs auto-astrometry. 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. :)

Hello there,

I have not personally used CANOPUS version 9.0.1.1, but as a scientist with experience in astrometry software, I can offer some general advice that may be helpful.

Firstly, I recommend checking the user manual or any documentation provided with the software to see if there is any information on the "auto astrometry" function. This may include instructions on how to use it and what parameters to set.

If you are unable to find any information, you could try reaching out to the software developers for assistance. They may be able to provide you with a tutorial or guide on how to use the function.

In general, the parameters for detecting faint asteroids will depend on your specific observation setup and the quality of your data. It may require some trial and error to find the best settings for your particular data.

Additionally, there are many online resources and forums where other users of CANOPUS or similar astrometry software may be able to offer guidance and tips for using the "auto astrometry" function. I suggest doing some research and reaching out to these communities for assistance.

I hope this information helps and good luck with your astrometry work!
