Hi Dave,
sorry, 'works better' was my short-hand way of saying that CCDSoft and Sky6 solved astrometric positions much faster than Pinpoint, and it does not seem to get confused by bright blooming streaks in images taken by NABG cameras such as my ST10. Certainly, Pinpoint has failed to solve images that had blooming streaks in them, which means I either have to drop the exposure time enough to avoid blooming, or choose a fainter star to centre on as a starting point.
In the end, I have given up using Pinpoint for the time being, I just cant get it to solve lately, and I have wasted too much time this week trying to rectify it!
