Hi Steve,
You'll obviously need multiple star detections in the image for a
successful plate solve. Watch for the light blue circles that get
placed around stars in the image when the plate-solve is running. If
only one or a few stars are being circled and there are other
detectable stars, you may need to reduce your noise tolerance
setting. Here is a set-up that usually works for my images:

I've posted this before but haven't got a solution.
We're doing photometry on a bright star in a sparse field. The
brightness forces short exposures, which result in other field
stars being faint. AIJ's WCS routine isn't able to plate-solve.
Would appreciate any help
Steve
