Recommended Posts

I plate solved an image in Pixinsight and got this result for field of view, is it indicating its 1 degree, 14minutes by 56minutes?  Im looking to download the correct catalogs for ASTAP and it mentiones downloading one or other depending on field of view being more or less than 1 degree

Field of view ............ 1d 14' 53.3" x 56' 37.0"

Your FOV (1.25 deg x 0.94 deg) is considered as being the longest side of the image for non-square images so the H17 database would be fine. As indicated on the useability chart the H17 works at FOV greater than 0.9 degree which still covers your short side image FOV.
