SOLVED --- Helpful: 'Color Photometric Calibration' to plate solving link

Software Siril

Hi all!
It is not uncommon that we need to photograph not a well-defined object, but rather we want to explore a particular region of the sky to detect the presence of asteroids, comets or novae.
In this case, in order to quickly perform photometric colour calibration in this region of the sky, it would be very useful to have a new function in Siril that would allow us to perform a plate solving task - no matter with which dedicated software (personally I find ASPS very efficient and fast, but of course it can be another one) - so that the photometric calibration panel automatically reads the coordinates of the image centre.
What do you think of this?

Bonjours à tous!
Il n’est pas rare que nous ayons besoin de photographier non pas un objet bien défini, mais plutôt nous voulons explorer une région particulière du ciel pour y détecter la présence d’astéroïdes, de comètes ou de novae.
Dans ce cas, afin d’effectuer rapidement la calibration photométrique des couleurs dans cette région du ciel, il serait très utile d’avoir une nouvelle fonction in Siril qui nous permettrait d’effectuer une résolution de plaque - peu importe avec quel logiciel dédié (personnellement je trouve ASPS très efficace et rapide, mais bien sûr il peut en être un autre) - de sorte que le panneau de calibration photométrique lise automatiquement les coordonnées du centre de l’image.
Qu’en pensez-vous ?

Hi, this is already possible with astrometry.net, see Platesolving — Siril 1.2.0 documentation

Of course, but if I am not mistaken, not automatically … but you have to manually submit the frame online at Astrometry.net, or locally with ansver.exe or Cygwin.
So, that is exactly what I mean:
what I mean is to have a radio button on the calibration panel to do the platesolving fully automatically. In other words, clicking on the button should show - very quickly if you are local, the co-ordinates of the centre of the a light frame field (or sequence).

Ok, it seems v. 1.0.2 works in this manner!
Thanks,

If we are working in local mode, this point is very important:

On Windows, if you are running ansvr, those recent index files will not be made available by the Index Downloader. You can still download them separately and store them where the other index files are kept (would recommend to remove the old files, although it may mess up the Index Downloader).
