Whats your focal length ?
Was the image you are using created by MaxIm and saved originally to native FITS with all the correct FITS metadata ?
Is the Observatory Control window in MaxIm linked to your telescope ?
Maybe put up the image somewhere and we can look at the FITS header and see if everything that should be there is there
PinPoint is relying on the RA and Dec of the centre of the image and the image scale or image details to compute image scale in order to get a start on where its searching
Too long or too short a focal length can cause problems, eg too many stars will cause a timeout (cut the image size down in MaxIm) if too long then the GSC catalog wont have enough stars in it to solve and you will want to use USNA or others
. . . but the error message seems to imply that it cant find the GSC data
Are you sure its there, and its complete or not corrupt ?
