I can not get the Framing and Mosaic Wizard under Tools to work in ver 3.0.3.169 of SGB on my Win 10 PC. Whatever I enter as an object, or whatever picture I use in the first step of the wizard, I only end up with about 120s waiting time and then the short message “Failed”. When entering e.g. M42 as an object, I immediately get the correct RA and Dec coordinates listed in their respective fields, but Fetch does then only result in the Failed message.
The PC has full Internet connectivity. I use PlateSolve2 as plate solver and it works properly if I bring up a picture and then use “Plate Solve” from within SGP on it, both doing a plain solve with position hints and a blind solve, using either remote or local astronomy.net (I have the local ANSVR data file installed on the same PC). I have also tried various Field of View settings for the first step of the wizard, without any better result.
From where is “Fetch” supposed to get the background image and are there any settings that may affect from where the reference picture is loaded? All suggestions on a way forward are appreciated!
Thanks for the update - seems like the problem is not so much on my side or the SGP side. But where do you se what servers SGP accesses and can you select a working one?
I’m having the same issues as well. I tried with ver 3.0.3.169 and again with Beta ver 3.1.0.366 and they both are giving the “failed” message when trying to create a new frame. When I click fetch, the object RA & Dec coordinates populate, it clocks for a bit then I get a “failed” message.
Thanks for the update. Is this now in SGP 3.1.0.366? and do I need to download an update? I’m still getting the same failed message but i’m not sure if I need to do something to get this.
Also, it sometimes generates an image of M31 even though that’s not what I’m searching for. ( I did clear the cache as I had an M31 entry in MFW a few months ago)
Still dead in the water here. I realize it’s Sunday and this isn’t really a life or death situation, but (rightly or wrongly) I really depend on the FMW to set up my imaging. Last night was a bust (not my first!) because off this. Any updates?
