Phil created a new topic ' Simulator Solver Fail' in the forum. 2 years ago

Hello, I'm trying to go through a tutorial here on how to create mosaics, so I'm using the simulators in Ekos. One of the first steps is to have proper location settings. So I chose the "simple" target on M31 for my test, go to the align module and hit Capture & Solve, but the solver goes through 10 iterations and indicates a fail. Apparently as I was writing this, it continued on, additionally failing, as you can see below.

How does a simulator fail in plate solving? I have the entire astrometry database installed. I was reminded that one other time trying to the get the guide module to guide using the simulators also would fail, so what would cause the simulators to fail plate solving?

Thanks.
