I noticed that a few other folks had a problem with PlateSolve2 not being able to read the file from the image it has taken. Frustrating.
I believe I’ve got everything set up correctly because I was able to solve more than a dozen images I had taken with the same kit. R-clicking on the opened images and then choosing platesolve works fine, but only on JPG images, and not on the SGPro fits images, for some reason. In fact I was impressed by the speed of the solving, in almost all cases, just a few seconds past the platesolver’s setup sequence.
I did read the string of messages here that had to do with using an older ini file. However, the messages following that seem to suggest that’s problemation. So I’d like to ask three questions:
Q1 - Has this problem already been resolved in later versions of the software. ( I have the version I installed in late 2017, I believe.)?
Q2 - Has some other solution been found that I’m unable to find in the forum?
Q3 - Win7 - 32-bit laptop - is this maybe a problem with reading the files?
We see the error sporadically but have not tracked down any specific cause for it. It doesn’t seem to stick around for long. May try rebooting to see if that helps to address things as it does’t seem long lived.
