Hi AB,

Is NINA supposed to automatically plate solve my images and save the astrometric solution in the fits file ? I don’t remember ever having to manually do it when using an Asiair. I assumed NINA would do it too but it doesn’t for me.

I have ASTAP installed and configured, it works fine when I manually plate solve a snapshot.

In other words, no. The final stack of images will not be plate solved. Nina uses plate solving to control the mount, not to solve the individual frames.
