I've tries ver 3.0 and beta ver 3.1 any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Yes, I'm solving for the southern hemisphere :-)
I usually have to increase the max star size to max and min star size to 1 for it to be able to solve. I also find that declination has to be right on the index marker for it to work properly.
Hope that helps!
