When the image appears i then select solve in the point craft box.
In the left hand corner it tells me it is solving, but 2 minutes or more latter it just times out.

I might have to connect the camera and scope up tomorrow and see if anything odd has changed in the scope settings.

I had a quick look at the object calculator and the correct focal length of 120 is selected there.

Definitely something i missed somewhere.
Will take another look at it again tomorrow after work.

Sure it will be something fairly simple.
I do all the above in one go.
Straight to PointCraft, Goto++ Orion.
The scope slews to the rough area, plate solves, moves plate solves until the target is centered within the specs I provided.
