I find the Sky View window on an image to be very useful. I see that RA is sometimes in hrs/min, and sometimes in degrees.

Is there a setting that I can set in order to have Sky View show RA in Hrs/min?

Hi Jim,

I'm not sure I follow. Nothing on AstroBin is labelled "Sky view". Can you send a screenshot please?

Hi Jim,

that's part of AstroBin's advanced plate-solving powered by PixInsight. You can learn more about plate-solving on AstroBin here:

It's part of the AstroBin Ultimate subscription plan. You can compare the plans here:

And see prices here:

If you want, you can upgrade here:

If you do upgrade, you won't pay anything immediately, but only be charged with the difference at the end of the current billing period.

Hope this helps!

Salvatore,
Thanks for the explanation and subscription options.

I may upgrade at some point; for now I will divide RA in degrees by 15  (in my head by approximation)  to get approximate  RA in decimal hrs.

I am just looking for a rough sky location for an interesting image I view. I see now that the sky map shown will depend on that user's subscription level.
