FITS File Flipped when Loaded

I am running 0.7.0.0 and I have it plate solving but when it tries to move the scope I get the following error. I am connecting to BackYard Nikon and to an LX200 GPS scope thorugh ASCOM Poth V6. Any thoughts on what the issue is?

Peter - sounds like you and I are int he same boat. I was able to get AT to solve a number of photos from 2 different setups. If I set my min/max at 0, 180 after the first solve (maybe 150 seconds), AT over writes the min/max and the second time it solves it much faster. Important to note I am only doing this by reading jpegs not live. That comes when the skies clear. But still getting that FAST_CWD error. Kevin

I have been struggling with this for the last few days. Bryan - I have followed your tutorial and can get M86 to solve in less than 30 seconds. The problem I am having is some of my photos will solve and some will not. It has been crappy weather here for the last week, so all my testing is being dopne with files. A few work, more than a few do not. I have been try8ing to compare files to see what works best - any thoughts on what it is - contrast or? I have determined the number of stars found is...

Ok - figured out what you were talking about, but mine is in the default location.. are you saying to move it?

WHere is that default config file and its name? Sorry if these are basic questions, but just stareting to try and use AT and having a bunch of issues (well learning curve). Kevin

Sorry - I am a little thick.... can you explain a little slower how to correct that issue? Kevin
