Made a fair bit of progress with my settings – and did a much better initial alignment of my scope on three stars. So using 120 Gain on 3-4 second shots binned 2×2 at a known image scale of 0.66 arc seconds per pixel I say very interesting behaviour.
All sky solves generally nailed it in 2-3 seconds, general solves failed most often after 2+ minutes on 7-8 FOV searches with 3 retries.
Is this saying that initially the object was too far from the where the telescope thought it was pointing? The first few closed loop slews failed. My last attempt after improving the mount’s handcontroller’s pointing model and the main scopes focus nailed a Closed Loop Slew to M20 dead centre of frame.
So if All of sky Plate Solves generally work whilst the search tab Plate Solves don’t generally work can someone please suggest some ways of fixing it?
Thanks, Matthew
