Using SGP for modeling-run image captures on 10Micron mounts

I tried the script and works verywell..

However there are some troubles with narrow focal lenght.. if mount is used on permanent pier is easy to use Pinpoint because initial position is known and plate solve is fast and have no problems..

Problem begin when mount is used on the field because all model needs to be created (base and refine) and the base 3 star model normally fails because mount don't know where it is with reasonable precision..

Currently on the field my Workflow is:
Clear Mount Model
Manual Point 1st star - Blind Solve with ansvr and sync
Manual Point 2st star - Blind Solve with ansvr and sync
Manual Point 3st star - Blind Solve with ansvr and sync

Then i run automated modelmaker (or the script) with pinpoint in refine mode and compute a X number of star align..

Without initial 3star blind plate solve, Pinpoint always fails base model solving and of course refinement (star match not found etc)

Maybe could be interesting for a future release to allow with a --switch ifdesired to blind ansvr solving in base model creation (slower but necessary for initial alignment on field) and then use pinpoint for refinement model (faster as usual)..

This could be very interesting for full automation in initial on field setup
