I'm trying to use an Altair GP-CAM mono with a 16mm lens as an electronic fnder. This works well visually, lots of stars visible, but PlateSolve 2 won't solve, I get a Run Time Error 6 - overflow error.
Astrometry.Net and Ansvr are fine, I use them to provide the hint data to PS2.This is a log fragment, it doesn't show much except the command line to PS2, that seems fine.

the bright star is Deneb.
The only time that RTE 6 was mentioned was if the scale was set to 0, I'm setting the scale.
I realise this is pushing the envelope a bit, not many scopes have a 16mm focal length, but if someone knows what the limit is it will help. Maybe I'll get a longer lens. I happened to have a 16mm lens.Thanks,
Chris
