Unable to Plate Solve using VPHOT

Erik:

Nothing has changed in VPhot in the past two months, so let's look elsewhere.

1. Do you have a telescope setup in VPhot with all the settings included, such as image scale? Have you recently started binning differently? Is the Telescop header included with the correct name?

2. Have you ever thought about using AstroArt to plate-solve all your images before you upload them? VPhot uses PinPoint and 3 catalogs, as needed. BTW, I choose to batch plate-solve all my maxim images before I upload them. Not necessary, but it does speed up the process on the VPhot end. (This does not answer your question, but it does work.)

3. Did anything change in your image processing scheme in the past two months? No matter how small.

4.Could you share a few images with me? I could take a look. Perhaps you could also share a few previous older succesful images as well?

Hi Ken,

Question 1   Telescope setup has not changed except Transform Coefficients

Question 3   I  have not changed process to my knowledge

Question 4

I am sharing 2 image files with you.

Hi Ken,

I am still having a problem with VPHOT plate solving.

Have you looked at my 2 .fit fales?

Thanks

Hi Ken,

I found the problem.

In telescope setup I had my telescope plate scale set at 0.694 acrseconds/ pixel (had not been changed for the last 2 years)

I change it to 0.69 arcsecond/ pixel and Plate-solving now works
