If I use the solve-fields command I get on my Ekos, I cannot solve it.
solve-field -O --no-plots --no-verify --resort --downsample 2 -3 279.392 -4 38.8038 -5 30 mirach_Light_001.fits
it goes on and on for ever...
However If I use my old script, it solves it within seconds.
# more verify.sh
#!/bin/sh
#generate wcs file, change scale if necessary
solve-field -z 2 -B none -P none -M none -S none -R none -U none -T -p -O $1
echo "------"
pic=`basename "$1" | sed 's/\(.*\)\..*/\1/'`
#plot-constellations -w $pic.wcs -B -L -v 2>&1 | egrep "Polaris|Lambda" | grep -Ev The
plot-constellations -w $pic.wcs -B -L -v 2>&1
echo "------"
rm *.wcs *.new *.axy
results:
