plate solve failures

When using AIJ>WCS>Plate solve using Astronometry.net (with options), the plate solve fails. Same if I use "(with options)".

I have my given key.

If I upload an image to astronometry.net, it works fine.

thnx for any help.

Upgrading to the latest daily build should solve the problem. Follow these instructions:

Re: plate solve failures

Hi Karen:

Thanks for the info, but I have the latest version (3.2.41) and the latest Daily Build and am having the same problem. The status bar goes through its paces and stays at "Astronomy submission ####### processing...", then after a few minutes starts over and again, goes through all of that several times and finally "Plate solve failed".

Hi Steve,

When I got your second report, I tried a plate solve here (on an image that I know should successfully solve) and it failed in the same way you described. As of now, the plate solve is working and has completed three times in a row. Can you try again now and let me know if it is working again for you too? Either way, can you try the plate solve 5 times to see if it consistently fails or consistently succeeds? Let me know your success/failure rate.

If you are using a PC, I strongly recommend the ANSVR local astrometry server that removes the dependence on nova.astrometry.net (and can work much faster if tuned properly for you images). Unfortunately it only works on the windows platform.

Re: plate solve failures

Yes, it worked this time, thank you. I'm using a Mac BTW so I know I can't use the ANSVR, but I have a PC also and if I continue to have problems I'll just switch over. I'm wary of having to be dependent on the astrometry.net site.

Thanks again for checking on this.
