MF created a new topic ' Ekos Plate Solving not consistent' in the forum. 4 years ago

Hi all,

I finally got to the point where I was able to test Polar Alignment with Ekos and an Olympus camera. Ekos shot the first image and solved it in about 90 seconds using Astrometry offline . I then got a message asking me to rotate the mount 30 degrees . I did so and clicked the button to confirm. Ekos then proceeded to shoot the second image and then... solver time out!!! Tried multiple attempts for the next hour or so, before giving up.

Nothing changes between the first image which is solved, and the next images which time out. Same lens so same FOV, and I even tried ASTAP with G17 database.


What am I doing wrong?
