3 corner image inspection appears rotated by 120 degrees
Stacking program, astrometric (plate) solver, fits file viewer

4 corner and 3 corner tilt measurements give significantly different results.
It would appear from the 4-corner result, and examining the fitted stars, that the three corner fit is rotated clockwise by 120°.

In once place the angle was calculated relative to the x-axis instead of the y_axis.

Thanks for confirming - I use the Mac version, so I'll wait for the update. Glad to see the 3-axis capability!
I just uploaded the new Mac version.
If you find anything, please report.

Thanks - the 3-corner result now looks more reasonable when compared to the star measurements and the 4-corner result.
OK to close the ticket.
