Since yesterday, I can’t get advanced astrometric annotations for my images. The images are plate-solved correctly by Astrometry.net, but then the PixInsight solving fails.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Thanks,
Francesco

Are they solvable in pi with image solver? What's the error? Did you try blind solver script?

My local PixInsight solves them just fine. I’m talking about the advanced plate solving / annotation feature of Astrobin, which uses PixInsight.
