PlateSolve2 "Unable to read image file"

I’m using PlateSolve2 in SGPro as my main plate solver, defaulting to local ANSVR.

Recently I get an error every single time I try to use this. A dialog box pops up that says

    "Plate Solve: Unable to read the image file. Unspecified error."

Underneath is an “OK” button. If I press it I the PlateSolve2 settings box, which shows “No Image.” This happens every single time, both with saved images and with new images taken in the course of a sequence.

Then SGP reverts to the blind solver, which is (usually) successful.

I’ve got both catalogs (APM and UCAC3) installed, and the configuration dialog lists them as “Status OK.”

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi airscottdenning

Probably not gonna help, but I’ve never had that problem and just tried to plate solve 4 different images using PlateSolve2 and all were successfully solved. I don’t have a failover solver setup.

Might be best to attach the logs to help the devs look into your issue.

Hope you get this sorted as PlateSolve2 is great.

Cheers

Hi Mark,

Thanks … I used PS2 successfully for weeks, but had to reinstall following a computer problem and have been unable to use it since. I agree it’s a great program and that it works very well in SGPro.

I will do some simple tests and post logs (and maybe screen shots) as you suggest.
