In the latest Nina version the failed image is stored. Send me one which fails and the Nina log.

Stefan B commented on issue #1133:
Mechanism to support users with image solving problems. Easy retrieval of failed image plus ASTAP command line
The latest Beta (2.0 H1 BETA0008) will move failed solves to a sub folder in %localappdata%\NINA\Failed To prevent unnecessary cluttering it will only create one file per appstart, target name and solver type (blind or not blind) and auto clean the folder for everything older than 7 days

Hi
I've got the same problem last night with a 714mm FL telescope. ASTAP was unable to work, keeps giving me the same problem unable to find a reference star. It used to work fine.
I'm using a U59 miniPC with WIN11

Check your search radius also. By default it seems to be set to 30 degrees. After i changed it to 180 degrees ASTAP will solve with my other settings being right.

1) What binning did you specify in Nina?
2) Can you send me an image which failed to solve.
3) Send me a screenshot of the yellow popup notifier: http://www.hnsky.org/astap.htm#popup_notifier
4) Set settling time after slew longer. The default 5 seconds is too short:
Looking at the images in the NINA/PlateSolve/Failed I think I found the problem It looks like the scope was out of focus, I've apparently moved the focuser without noticing
I'll try again tonight after an autofocus run and see what happen. If any problem again I'll talk to you
Thanks a lot

No problem. Can you or Farzad try the new beta version of Nina and see if in case of solve failure the image is stored in the new new location for further investigation? Note I'm not using Nina but it would be helpfull if this works for analysing future problems.
Cheers, Han
