I have written an executable wrapper for Astrometry.net , latest version, running on one of my local Linux servers and it is working really well for me. Blind solving takes an average 6-7 seconds. I have limited the indexes to only what I need. It also works well in WSL with Ubuntu 18.04 just if someone maybe interested.
What I am doing is to set this as my primary plate solver e.g. http://192.168.50.48:8080/api
I would however like to set my blind solver to Astometry.net. This will catch any index I do not have and I can always add these at a later stage.
The moment I do this it changes my primary solver to Astrometry.net.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
