Resuming imaging

rkonrad

I was want to wondering if there is a way of resuming imaging to a target from 2 years ago? I want to keep the framing exactly the same.

If the same scope, camera, and rotation use the same coordinates uses two years ago. You can also plate solve the image in ASTAP or at https://nova.astrometry.net and use these coordinates to create the request.

Hi @rkonrad,
yes, @danieldh206 is right: As long as the framing remained the same you could go on without big issues. Just make sure to use the "old" calibration data with the older set, and new calibration data (especially flats) with the newer set. Hell, even if the rotation is a bit different it might work out.
