Double check you options because using them does not result in solving the field.
I think that -L & -H options are not correct - Field size: 2.19231 x 1.51141 degrees whereas you are trying to force 19.3223 x 26.6952 arc minutes. Did you set your scope focal length correctly? What about your CCD size?

Quick fix would be to blind solve the field by removing all options but -O

Thx!
However, I thought the L and H values were for the current scope position?
