So I have V 2.1.0 of BYN and have successfully set it up to work with Astrotortilla,- once. I have gotten it to plate solve a few nights ago but that was then,-this is now. On the advice given here about turning off in camera and long exposure noise reduction in my D5100 I tried to use the two programs together as in the previous session. I made several other changes at the same time: I rotated the camera 90 degrees to get East/West-North/South to agree with the EQMOD control pad directions, and I removed my old Lumicon Easy Guider since I wasn't using it, and re-focused(I am using a Celestron 0.63 FF/FR instead off the one in the Lumicon OAG). (When will I learn to change one thing at a time?) I have the Premium version of BYN and the two programs are clearly communicating I can hear the shutter opening and closing when I ask AstroT to plate solve. However I either get a Camera Error message or after restarting everything (Computer, Mount, Camera, CDC, all programs..) AStro-T does not even look through the indexes. A picture is taken and that's all. I have even set the program to re-solve but zilch happens. I have a Win10 Pro Lenovo X1 running the show and have read that the cygwin program that is installed with Astro-T is known to have issues with Win 10. Also could my lack of noise reduction come back to bite me? If I could look at the photos that are taken by the process of plate solving that would help, but where are they?
And finally is the Pre-release version of BYN that includes plate solving something I should try? Are there instructions how to install and use it? Astro-T does not appear to be supported, so this addition to BYN would be FANTASTIC ,- IMHO!
