I generated a map with Star Atlas Pro and used it to make a rectilinear version of your image. I used Registar to do this.

This should plate solve? as now there are no distortions?
astrometry.net still can't solve it Bert.

UniMap did but I had to restrict it to the Tycho2 catalog and mag 8 otherwise it ran out of memory and crashed.
RA centre 18:12
Dec Centre -24:00
Field 45:00x22:30
Detected 49432 objects (after blocking out an area around the tree).
Matched 7810 stars
Catalog stars in the area 71673
Deep sky objects 169851

It doesn't want to save the annotated image.

Marc, you should get UniMap to work if you use those ra/dec/field values as hints.
