And this is across the entire field of a very fast instrument, a worst-case scenario. These numbers are as good as any observatory out there.

Compare with other observatories, amateur and professional, and remember that many amateur imagers are relatively narrow field and distortion-free, plus many are being used for single target astrometry near the center of the field. Here are the statistics for 2002, #333's busiest year, taken from the MPC's Residuals Statistics for Observatory Codes page. In addition, detections were usually near the noise limit and are hence subject to random variations. The system was operated in search mode, thus detections submitted to the MPC appear all over the detector field, not just the center. The optics produced significant astrometric distortion which PinPoint is able to automatically remove via adaptive higher-order solution. Back in 2002, IAU #333 used PinPoint with an 18" f/2.8 hyperbolic telescope and a 2K by 3K detector at 1.5 arcsec/pixel.

PinPoint is used as the plate solving engine in many astronomy applications out there, including Diffraction Limited's MaxIm DL 6 and MaxPoint, CCDWare's FocusMax and PoleAlignMax, MainSequence's Sequence Generator Pro, Omega Labs Ricerca 7, CCDWare's CCD Autopilot, and of course our own ACP Expert Observatory Operating System. You can use Visual PinPoint with any FITS or POSS/DSS images.

The package comes with Visual PinPoint, a point-and-click Windows program that has automated tools for hands-off asteroid and supernova hunting with optional blinking for validation. Typical uses include plate solving which gives precise pointing to telescope mounts, asteroid and comet searching, high-precision astrometry (detection and measurement of positions), and other more exotic uses such as space situational awareness. This is all automatic to you and to client programs that embed the engine. If you don't have an internet cdonnection, PinPoint can use the 'ansvr' local all-sky server by Andy Galasso.

PinPoint automatically uses the cloud solving service of Astrometry.Net to find its initial solution, then it takes that as the starting point for a full PinPoint solution including distortion mapping. An internet connection is usually employed for this (see below). PinPoint 7 also has built-in all-sky plate solving, eliminating the requirement for approximate image centerpoint coordinates and plate scale at the cost of additional time. It is 70Gb for coverage down to magnitude 18 and 160 Gb for coverage down to magnitude 20. If you can afford the space, this is now the best catalog for all uses. This large, including Gaia stars and PanSTARRS/APASS magnitudes, has high quality magnitudes, it goes deep, and has proper motions. New with Version 7 is support for the ATLAS All-Sky Stellar Reference Catalog. Both 32- and 64-bit engines are available. A set of point-and-click tools (Visual PinPoint) for fast mass plate solving and survey-level asteroid and supernova hunting are included. Built to last, the Tasco Pro Points Sight features rugged, solid construction and premium lithium batteries.Welcome to the web site for the PinPoint Astrometric Engine, a programmable engine that provides sensitive, robust, high-speed research-grade astrometric image processing for FITS files from any camera. Built to be fast, the ProPoint Red Dot Scope by Tasco delivers pinpoint accuracy with a rheostat-controlled illuminated red dot, unlimited eye relief and a clear field-of-view. Tasco 1x 25 ProPoint Sight has been the choice of competitive pistol and revolver shooters, turkey hunters and slug gun hunters for years. Tasco ProPoint Rifle Scope includes matching rings that fit standard, dovetailed bases or integral mounts using a standard weaver base. Tasco 1x25 ProPoint Sight Red Dot Scope offers premium performance and competition-ready with large 40' FOV at 100 yards, and illuminated 5 M.O.A. By comparison, open sights force you to focus on the rear sight, front sight and target at the same time. ProPoint's illuminated reticle by Tasco has been pre-focused so the aiming point always appears against the target.

Engineered for greater speed and accuracy, Tasco Red Dot Sight from ProPoint Series allows you to concentrate on the reticle, thus increasing accuracy. ProPoint Red Dot Sight by Tasco is a state-of-the-art scope engineered especially for competitive shooting. Tasco ProPoint 1x25 Illuminated Optical Sight is designed with a unique rheostat that features positive detents for a full range of light intensities.
