Hi, I am having trouble plate solving, as there is some "noise" around the edges of my image, which AstroImageJ thinks are stars. When I ask it to do the plate solving, it shows the blue circles only on these edges, and not on the actual stars in the image. I have tried changing the maximum peak value which does help a bit, in that it does select some actual stars, but it still mostly selects the edges, and can't do the plate solving. Is there a way to exclude these edges from the plate solving? I have attached a screenshot to illustrate what I mean. Thanks!
