Hello, having a few issues with plate solving.
The attached image solves in a few seconds if I put it here:
https://nova.astrometry.net/user_images/6795266#annotated

but ASTAP isn't having any of it. I have the latest development version and the H18 database. I have tried ASTAP as a stand alone where I entered the approximate RA/DEC, and through APT where I used the scope position or blind. The centre of the field is Neptune (give or take a few minutes).

It does solve some images, so hopefully I haven't done anything too wrong in setting up, but only about 1 in 8 images, I have no idea why. When I started it was solving everything and really quickly. I have no idea what has changed. If anyone can shed any light I would much appreciate it. Thank you.
