The fit data looks a typical shape, but over quite a large area.

Yes, image scale is important and should be correct. I didnt adjust that, AAG seemed to extract that automatically from the sky (or FITS image data)

If you update every 10 mins or so from yr internet time scource, that would be OK, it wouldnt trash the model.

Its worth paying IMO for pinpoint for several apps, DL uses it to plate solve and calibrate "point here" nudging. Apparently Sky X has its own built-in version. I understand though that the CCDsoft has a cut down version build in, so that should do (or is that DL, you can platesolve, so thats OK I guess).

I had similar problems until I increased the star mag sensitivity (in AAG) to 20 mag, more stars to measure with I guess.

You really need to get the plate sovle success rate up, that seems wrong, and may indicate a different rpoblem.
