Yesterday I had a clear night and managed to try all sorts of permutations to get previously saved FITs files to solve. Interestingly, trying to use the on-line astrometry solver timed out on upload which has never occurred before. ANSVR also ran though and failed (failure to get job ID). Recently I have tried a load and slew to test out the astrometry as the weather has precluded doing testing outside but nothing would work, the solver either failed straight away or ran through all of the astrometry fits and then timed out (even using 500sec time out settings) or failed. I generally find 1Xbinning works best in the field. A few things that I have noticed that have been consistent are a failure to solve any image using the offline solver on the odroid or trying the ANSVR server on windows when using 4X binning with the ASI294. I have had some intermittent astrometry solving issues but generally these have been good for the last few weeks. In the field (away from my home network) this setup runs through a WiFi extender as a hot spot.

Startup KStars, EKOS and INDI on the odroid then use KStars remotely through the home network on my PC inside. I use team viewer for headless operation on a windows laptop. I have KStars /EKOS/INDI running under Ubuntu 18.04 on an Odroid XU4. These have been driving me nuts but hopefully I now have them sorted so I thought that I would share some tips.

I have recently had some persistent solver failure and time out issues with my Astrophotography set up.
