RA,DEC parametres are not properly passed to ASTAP solver

Hi,

I was trying to use ASTAP platsolve and found it requires an approx RA, REC for (speeding up) platesolving.
Astronomy.net suddenly do not work (not sure why).

I've found EKOS is not giving the -ra & -spd to ASTAP, even I manually typed it in the options line box. That caused the solver time-out.

Can someone see if they encounter the same problem?

OK. I did another test it appears the "Load & Slew" was not taking the manually inputted parameters, but the "Capture and solve" does. So for now I can put the parameters from the mount readings which is in the middle of the align module, to the command line parameters to speed up the platesolve. It's incredibly fast it's just like seconds for ASTAP to resolve with the coordinates inputted in RPI4.

Hi Jasem, just an enhancement suggestion for getting the RA, DEC from the mount and put them as the ASATP parameters (-ra & -spd) automatically in future releases? Thank you!
