I've installed the latest version...
What I'm trying to achieve is to solve an image from my hard drive (previously captured from my eFinder)
The Configuration site states:

If you want to solve images on disk and store the annotated images from astrometry.net solver, remove the --no-plots -N none options and set the work_directory in the configuration file to a temporary directory. Using the FileOpenCamera module you can annotate existing stacked images and the results are stored in solving order under the work directory.

I can't seem to find the work_directory in the astrotorilla.cfg??????
Also, where is the FileOpenCamera module?????

So far, it seems to find the selected GOTO image from the computer, and indicates that it has solved the image....BUT no CWS image found????
Any Astrotorilla users out there who can help.
Thanks,
Ken

Ok.
Found that the work_directory had to be manually added to the cfg file.
Onwards and Upwards.

OK....
After solving the image, AT produces a series of files (in the nominated "temp" directory...)
None of these are fits files - like the WCS calibrated image obtained from Astrometry.net.
The answer is to use the "finder".new file and rename it to a .fits.
This is then recognised by CdC and can be displayed......
