Hello.

Astrometry isn't working on my RGB image of M1: https://app.astrobin.com/u/fcouma?collection=81951&i=4ssw9i#gallery

Astrometry.net can't find anything.

Strange.

I had it occasionally failing on a few of my images too without any obvious reason (e.g. the last one from this week). I tend to follow the same workflow for all my images. Hard to tell why an algorithm fails without access to any log files.

In general I don’t worry too much about it.
