Latest version of the polar alignment routing failing to plate solve

Hi folks,

I was unable to get polar alignment working on the lastest version (stable) of Stellarmate.

It was plate solving fine for the three movements of the mount, calculated the amount of polar alignment error but then frustratingly would not plate solve a single thing when I hit "refresh". I was plate solving on objects and doing a slew to target as well.

I thought the PA tool has these types of issues resolved a few versions ago now.

Has anyone else seen this error and any tips/tricks to resolve it please?


Thank you, Craig

Logs? is the image quality acceptable with refresh?

I'll try to get some logs but yes the image quality is look OK and I've been using 4-5 seconds as the length of image taken. The exposure time I'm using is the same for the plate solving as the time I use for the setting in the "refresh" section. It consistently fails to plate solve the second you start the refresh after 4-5 iterations of parking/unpark/track/run through the three movements (which all plate solve to give me my initial PA error).
