Avoid resolving image #181

Open dltemple opened 4 years ago

dltemple commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I am using a staring sensor where I take pictures at a 1 second interval.

Once I plate solve the first image, how can I use this initial solution of WCS and the subsequent epochs to give me RA/DEC centroid of subsequent frames?

I would like to avoid resolving at every image since the coordinate system transformations are defined. I just don't know what to search for to do this.

You can use the pass the arguments --ra, --dec and --radius to solve-field and it will solve much faster.
