Hi,
I've noted that sometimes plate solve does not work as expected. Well, I would say that is an alignment issue rather that plate solving.
Plate solve works pretty well always. But sometimes the corrections applied are very very small. Let's say I have an error of 1400 arcsec. After a "capture and solve -> slew to target" action, it applies such a small correction that the next iteration the solver returns 1392 arcsec of error, for example. And over and over, in very small steps.
I don't note this behavior always, but sometimes. Although (I'm not sure), it seems to behave likes this after a meridian flip. Then, I have to manually clean the model and capture and solve again. Then, it works.
