Plate solving not working? Start with the cause, not the button.
A failed solve usually means the solver was not given the right conditions: scale, field, star quality, metadata or image data. This page gives visitors a problem-first route into the AIT Plate Solver guide.
Scale and FOV
Wrong scale is one of the fastest ways to make solving fail.
Star quality
Soft, trailed or saturated stars reduce match reliability.
Metadata
Incorrect coordinates, orientation or capture details can mislead the solve.
Image state
Heavy compression, extreme stretch or poor SNR can hide usable stars.
