Hi again.
Thanks a lot for your efforts: screenshots and all!
The problem is that I don't have the same windows than those that you're showing in FM.
As I mentioned before I don't seem to be able to select the filter to be used for pointing / plate solving (see attached screenshots).
Why FM is selecting the blue filter remains a mystery to me. But what is even stranger is why it has become suddenly impossible to plate solve when no settings had been changed.
This scope is located in Chile under pristine skies wtih basically 360 degrees clear horizon. I checked the images: they are fine (no cloud or anything).
Thanks a gain: really appreciated!
