I certainly have made some settings changes in APT over time, but cannot seem to find what I did to cause this to fail. I use a DSLR (Canon EOS 70D) on a Celestron C8 SCT with f6.s reducer. I know that I have all my FOV numbers right, but all I get is a timeout after 120s. I have attached a screen shot as well as a sample image I am tying to solve. Any help will be much appreciated.
