No such complications. You just select from the drop down – ASTAP has already determined which objects are in the field of view. It uses the standard Allcometels.txt file (which it downloads every now and again, like Cartes du Ciel etc) to figure out where everything is.
It is first and foremost a plate solver, and its lightning fast. It does everything. Han the developer is really cool and adds features if you ask nicely, sometimes next day!
Its easy to use. You’ll love it.
