Can anyone provide some tips on plate solving in MaximDL using provided PinpointLE.

Ive set the correct image scales and tested by using Starry Nights EQMOD Simulator and placed the virtual scope near Canopus.

When I try to solve an image I'd taken a previous night it would find the co-ords' but this would be a few degrees actually away from Canopus.

I tried with another of the beehive cluster and it did the same thing, chose the position of the previous image a, a few deg from Canopus.

It's hard finding tutorials that show the process in action.

Thanks
