Field of view changes slightly between two frames

SCO
I am not sure how this happened, but during one of my observation sessions, the field of view jumped a bit between two consecutive frames (between frame 523 and 524).  All fields of view before 523 are the same as 523, and all fields of view after 524 are the same as 524.  The two frames are shown below.  

As a result, after selecting comp stars and pressing Enter, the program proceeds as normal until it hits that discontinuity.  It then stops.  Is there a setting I can make to AIJ that will allow it to continue running normally through that discontinuity and produce the normal output?

It looks like your images are plate-solved. Assuming that is the case, enable "Use RA/Dec to locate aperture positions" in the MA setup panel. If your images are not all plate-solved, you can solve only the first image, and then the image after the jump. In that case you'll also need to also disable "Halt processing on WCS or centroid error".
