So, I found an old .cr2 file taken with her 80mm refractor and, after converting it to .jpg, ran the command line. This was the output:

I thought maybe the solving problem happened when she was using her other scope, a Mak127, but I just ran a pic from that one and it also solved (with index-4209.fits), so maybe the issue has nothing to do with index files and something else is going on.
Suggestions?
