This Tool-Window displays a compact summary of the most important results from the previous data reduction:
Image:The file names of the images used in the data reduction.
Stars:The number of stars detected by the software.
Ref. Stars:The number of reference stars detected by the software. The number will appear in red if less than five reference stars have been found, indicating a uncertain astrometric solution or a false reference star match.
Ref./Ast.:The number of reference stars used for the astrometric data reduction.
Fit Order: The fit order used in the solution for the plate constants: "1" means a linear, "2" a quadratic, and "3" a cubic fit has been used. If a lower order than specified in the Program Settings has been used (due to lack of available reference stars), the number will appear in red.
dRA:The mean residual in Right Ascension of the reference stars that were used in the astrometric data reduction, in arc seconds. The number will appear in red if the mean residual of the reference stars in Right Ascension is higher than the astrometric limit set in the Program Settings, probably indicating a false reference star match.
dDe:The mean residual in Declination of the reference stars that were used in the astrometric data reduction, in arc seconds. The number will appear in red if the mean residual of the reference stars in Declination is higher than the astrometric limit set in the Program Settings, probably indicating a false reference star match.
Ref./Phot.:The number of reference stars used for the photometric data reduction.
dmag:The mean residual in the brightness of the reference stars that were used in the photometric data reduction, in magnitudes. The number will appear in red if the mean residual of the reference stars in brightness is higher than the photometric limit set in the Program Settings, probably indicating a false reference star match.
