Plate solving with ServoCAT and an alternative approach


 

Hi to Spectroscopy Group members.
Re: selecting a suitable guide star when collecting spectra in a sparce star field.

Hampshire Astro Group often find it difficult to identify a chosen star when collecting high resolution spectra on their 640mm R-C plus Lhires spectrograph setup. A narrow pattern of stars is not always identified by platesolver.? We have found it useful to call up Aladdin and then select Sindbad.
Suggested by Steve Broadbent, our outgoing Chair.
Kind regards.
