Maybe the stars where extremely oversampled and saturated? In this case astrometry on those stars will not be precise in any case. By the way you can force the collection of those star with CTRL + click. Then proceed with the command Astrometry as usual, but be very careful with the O-Cs, if they be...

Other things you could try: 1) Take two full images one after the other (maybe the CCD is not flushed correctly?) 2) Select a box almost as big as the whole image, then use the focus or guide window to verify the field. 3) Are you really sure that what you see in the guide window is a real signal?

The latest mirrorless cameras and the 250D DSLR are not supported because at the moment it's not supported ...

Hello, I suggest to start with Tutorial #9 with the M57 image (you don't need to create a Sum). Try both the automatic and manual procedure. If a precision of 0.3 arcseconds is sufficient, you may just use plate solving for astrometry. About k1 and k2, setting them manually is used only for instrume...

Hello, I cannot reproduce with my browsers, but I changed the link to https in Service Pack 2 alpha, if you need a prerelase just write by email or PM.

Hello Bernd,
