Hi

I checked that I had downloaded the required and recommended index files, and the field of view was correct, all ok, then did not use sync to align the mount, but plate solving still failed.
After doing a internet search to check what the plate solving settings mean, I noticed an article that suggested unticking use scale and use position under the Scale and Position tab, after doing this plate solving worked, so not sure if it is ok, but I will leave these unticked and when there is a clear sky try again, so I hope problem solved
thanks
Robert
