  • astrometry with planet indication?

    Used the well known nova.astrometry.net to plate solve some astro images recently, but I wonder if there is any way to get it to solve for any
    planets captured as well? I don't see any such indication in the
    advanced settings selection. What about other plate solving sites?

    Thank you

    Well, the solution is the solution, regardless of what's in the image.
    I think what you are looking for is something that will annotate
    planets in a solved image?

    The ImageAnnotation script in PixInsight can identify and label
    planets in a solved image, assuming the image header contains an
    accurate time.
