"Plate Solve Current Image" should have Sync functionality

Issue #577 closed

As it stands right now, the “Plate Solve Current Image” button above an image in the Imaging section does not have a good use. I want to suggest having a “Sync” button to send the results of the plate solve to the telescope.

Please note that I am NOT referring to the “Plate Solving” tab (which requires you to take another image), I am referring to plate solving an image that has already been taken. See the attached image for clarification.

    That Button is Just for Plate solve Info. If you want to sync, use the Plate solve panel

    I believe a sync button wouldn’t hurt there, the image is already taken, some people require extraordinary long exposures for plate solving.

    @Stefan B Yes, I understand that. I am suggesting that the panel should permit the end user to actually utilize the data in that screen without needing to take a new image. At this point, this screen is entirely useless. I personally would like the ability to solve the current image displayed in NINA without being forced to take an entirely new image.

    I am not suggesting a “sync and recenter” functionality, I’m just suggesting taking the output of this window (that has already been solved) and send it directly to the telescope.
