I'm running Kstars 2.9.8 on Window 10 64 bit. Platesolving through Ansvr.
My target was NGC6822 (Barnards Galaxy) at (from KStars):
JNow: 19h 45m 58s -14° 45' 45"
J2000: 19h 44m 56s -14° 48' 23"
I get a successful solve and the mount slews. The next solve says it is within acceptable range.
But if I then take an image and solve at nova.astrometry.net it is around 15 arc-minutes off in RA.
Results from nova.astrometry.net (J2000) are:
Center (RA, Dec): (295.932, -14.862)
Center (RA, hms): 19h 43m 43.610s
Center (Dec, dms): -14° 51' 44.593"
Size: 38.1 x 28.8 arcmin
Radius: 0.398 deg
Pixel scale: 1.96 arcsec/pixel
Orientation: Up is 262 degrees E of N
I suspect the conversion of J2000 returned by nova.astrometry.net to JNOW is in the wrong direction. Perhaps as I'm in the southern hemisphere?
Had the same issue with 2.9.6 the other day which is why I upgraded.
