Took about 30s to solve I'd say.... that was just uploading a fit file, anf giving it no further info....
Seems faster if you give it some limits, like a RA/Dec radius, or approx image scale....
I experimented by cropping little squares of random star fields from some jpg images I'd done, and just tell the engine the field is say 0.01 deg to 1 deg, seems to take 10s or so for a solution....
I'm still going to get a self-contained solution going, but astrometry.net is very cool.... I'm continually amazed by what we have free access to, and the high prices we need to pay for other stuff!
If anything - it seems an easy way to get a precise arcsec/pixel measurement, just upload an image you've taken with whatever OTA/CCD, and it will tell you....
