Hank,
I was having no success with platesolving in NINA so i went to the executable ASTAP and had the same result. The FOV is default to 4.61. I changed the FOV to "auto" and it solved my image immediately. It set the FOV to .65 however after saving the settings, it defaults back to 4.61 with the next image Solve. What do you suggest?

update - when i look at Pixel math 2 it has my aperture size in the Telescope focal length (entry). This meta data would have come from NINA. I entered the aperture instead of the focal length(sigh). ASTAP works flawlessly now. I hope this helps someone else.

Hi,
The data in Pixel math 2 is taken from the FITS header and that comes from Nina. So you have to update your values in Nina.
You could update the header files of several files with ASTAP. If you load the images involved in the lights tab, then after selecting all files involved call up the popup menu of the lights tabs en select "change header keyword.."
Note ASTAP versions between 2025.04.16 and 2025.04.28 have a bug making the solver working less good.
Cheers, Han
