Plate solving SGP & APT

They talk about 'Mysteries of the universe'.........my mysteries start with plate solving!

I'm after some advice......

I'm recently purchased a second hand QHY 8 Pro and am using it as my imaging camera with APT. Problem is it wont plate solve!

Strange thing is if I load the exact same image (taken with the QHY) that APT is trying to plate solve into SGP then it solves in a reasonable time.

Problem with APT plate solver you say......well, I can take a pic with the Canon DSLR and it plate solves no problem in APT

APT settings.....yep, they are changed to suit the QHY 8.

I'm absolutely stumped on this one!

Could it be I'm not collecting enough data for APT to be able to plate solve (10 second image) but for some reason SGP uses the caught data more efficiently (does it use a stretched image and APT doesn't?)

...any ideas?
