Hi there,
(and sorry for bothering you again).
Last night I had a somewhat good automated run with Scheduler and ACP- hooray! - but it seems that the pointing was quite off.
Checking the logs, it seems like all Pointing updats failed, and the Astrometry.net Solver failed, too:
Code:
00:54:08 Updating pointing...
00:54:08 Switching from Ha7 to Clear filter for pointing exposure
00:54:12 (taking 30 sec. exposure, Clear filter, binning = 4)
00:54:12 (using 8 MHz readout mode)
00:54:12 (starting exposure)
00:54:45 (exposure complete and image downloaded)
00:54:45 Image finished
00:54:45 Plate-solve pointing image.
00:54:45 810 image stars found
00:54:45 437 catalog stars found
00:55:04 ** No matching stars found. Check your estimated center-point RA/Dec, and your image scaling and quality.
00:55:05 Start slew to offset...
00:55:06 (wait for slew to complete)
00:55:11 (slew complete)
00:55:11 (taking 30 sec. exposure, Clear filter, binning = 4)
00:55:11 (using 8 MHz readout mode)
00:55:11 (starting exposure)
00:55:43 (exposure complete and image downloaded)
00:55:43 Image finished
00:55:43 Plate-solve pointing image.
00:55:43 730 image stars found
00:55:44 498 catalog stars found
00:56:06 ** No matching stars found. Check your estimated center-point RA/Dec, and your image scaling and quality.
00:56:06 Attempting all-sky plate solution (time-consuming)...
00:56:34 **All-sky solution failed (0):
00:56:34 (no error info from all-sky solver)
I wonder what happened, is there any detailed log for the BlindSolver.exe? I also tried to run it from the console with one of the images taken last night, but got the following error (command line included for convenience):
Code:
>BlindSolver.exe --apikey=smvjlujpuoqmqdju --server=nova.astrometry.net "C:\Users\Public\Documents\ACP Web Data\Doc Root\images\_\20130630\Gumball Globular M12\Gumball Globular M12-S001-Clear-R001-Clear.fts"

Any idea what's going on here?
Thanks
