We have recorded this feature request. From a quick glance, I didn't
spot a programmatic interface that would allow AIJ to communicate
directly with ASTAP. We will dig further later. In the meantime, it
would seem that ASTAP could be used independently of AIJ to solve
images, and then the plate solved images could be loaded into AIJ
for further analysis. Does that approach currently work?

I have found the ASTAP plate solve routine is MUCH faster than
using Astrometry.net (using a local install of ANSVER). Windows 10
OS. ASTAP frequently solves in less than 5 sec, while the same
image can take 30 - 60s with Astrometry.net (even with fine tuning
the constrain parameters). The ASTAP program can be found here:

consideration.
