Hi Bryan, latest update is that I could finally solve some of my photos, however, it took ages to solve. One photo took over 500 seconds and other one took ove 900 seconds, while your test photo of the M86 took just over 33 seonds to solve. Anything in the settings I can improve to get faster solving? My PC has 8 cores and 16 gig of ram with an i7 chip...(so this is not slow processor problem) on Windows 10? Thanks for your input Peter

Hi Bryan, the latest up date of my story, I have now been able to solve your M86 photos an 33 seconds after I changed the custom options from the sigma information to the downsample2 overwrite info and the scale min/max to 1 and 2 respectively. Now I will try to solve some of my photos. My smallest deg is 0.23 and my max is 1.6 degrees...with different scopes and cameras. So I set the min/max to 0 and 2 degrees respectively. I'll keep you posted> Thanks Peter

Bryan, I tried to run the M86 image and it did not solve in just over 5 seconds. I also read your instructions which comes together with the M86 image and I found one instruction telling me to run the set up of cygwin within the AT program files. When I tried this I got again error messages (see screenshot). So I am not sure if I need to run this set up or not and while I used the first indicated window for the dowload (as per the screenshot photo) I tried many different locations on this download...

I stil have the problem that I can't get AT to work...while I have no problems with other software to plate solve nothing works for me with AT. I wonder if I have I problem when installing AT as there is always this message. (see enclosed photo). I have downloaded cygwin files seperately for the formats I need and tried to install them all over the places for AT to find it but my plate solving is ended within 2 seconds with no results. So far I am trying to plate solve photos I have on my hard disk...

I got the following message when installing Astrotortilla and cygwin : couldn’t compute Fast_CWD pointer, please report this problem. I reported this problem to cygwin and got the following answer from Marco Atzeri at cygwin: Hi Peter, it seems Astrotortilla is using a very old version of cygwin, as the problem was solved a lot of years ago. They should upgrade to latest cygwin dll. Regards Marco Has anyone had the same message and what to do about it. As I never get any photos solved with Astrotortilla,...
