That would be operator error.

When the image was recorded Ekos didn't know where the telescope was pointing. Possibly held the result of an old plate solve.

When asking the solver to solve an image, I was expecting it to do it blind. My bad.

I'm assuming my guesses about what the scale numbers in the logs meant was not too far off? Is there anything I can read about how the solvers work and how to interpret the logs (other than the code)? I'll ask my favourite search engine.

Possible enhancement would be to have an option to force a blind solve. Probably not worth the extra complexity in the UI or the effort..

Now that I know what's going on I can get on with investigating why the Pi is not plate solving captured images.

Thank you for your help.
