Now that is interesting... much prefer the idea of a local copy. Thank you. Had not read that yet.
I am finding that Pinpoint solves most images in the simulation set up (so astronomy.net is not used much) - but GSC is better that USNO 2.0 for wide fields. Does that ring true. Now what would be amazing is if you could set the platesolver in the text file depending on which scope one was using I have FL's of 337, 600, 1,480 and 2350 across 3 scopes on the same mount.
