Thanks for the replies and advise, appreciated.
When you say solve near the pole first, , Do you mean just pick a star that is close, something like Atria and do a sync on this fist?
Then away you go from there?
I have a longish focal length that i am working with, so a bit more of a challenge, 120mm, but everything else looks to be ok.
I might reinstall the plate solve 2 software just incase i have made a mistake there somewhere.
I decided to give it a go on Orion just because i could get it reasonably centered on the screen before i trued out the point craft program.
I find it surprising that it couldn't solve the image when it is reasonably close.
Will go back through the setting again though just to make sure i haven't entered something else incorrect there.
Appreciate all advice.
Thanks.
Peter.
