I see additional information now that suggests there is a programmatic interface. We will investigate this further as a medium term priority.

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: https://sourceforge.net/projects/astap-program/ Thanks for your consideration.
