| So for some reason when I try and plate solve my images on siril it wont execute the photo metric calibration and color calibrate it, please hel me |

| Have you specified the correct focal length and the right pixel size? |

 Your deep sky target must be correct, search for it, then you must enter the correct telescope focal length and sensor pixel size, I always tick "Force Plate Soving", click OK and it should work as in this case:  |

| I've had the problem sometimes, where, even with lots of stars and given specific RA/Dec, Siril won't properly plate solve. It tends to be from Seestar S50 images for some reason. I just move on without the color calibration. Unfortunately, other than some general failure message, I don't recall anything specific. |

From time to time my plate solving doesn't work with a certain parameter set. To solve the issue I try to down sample or I try to auto crop or I try to change stretching or I perform offline plate solving (you need to download the relevant files first) Sometime it helps and sometimes not. |

| Are you using a reducer and/or perhaps a multi session with slightly different focal lengths? Is 432mm correct? Did you crop or try to plate solve after star restoring? |

Antonio Parisi: No reducer, same focal length, not 432, what’s star restoring? |

sometimes siril finds a solution and when i slightly crop the image siril is not anymore able to find the solution. I live with it. I think there is maybe a bug in Siril. I use instead https://astrometry.net/ |

Nikolaos Bafitis:Oskari Nikkinen: *Try drawing a selection box around the target coordinates in the image. This makes plate solving only look at stars in that box and can increase accuracy with wider field shots. Do try different plate solving catalogues as well from the menu. Also just to be sure, you are running this on a linear image? The workflow needs to be Crop->Background extraction-> PCC->Everything else after that. |

Just checked your profile, it says you are using an iphone. How are you taking images with it through a telescope (if a telescope was even used)? If you are using eyepiece projection the focal length and pixel size are not "native" because the eyepiece used will effect the image scale. In that case you need to experiment on this quite a bit. And also, pixel size with smart phones is usually 2x the stated value because most smart phone cameras bin the image x2 even with raw images. You should upload your image to astrometry.net and see what the image scale comes out to and use those values with Siril PCC. Do keep in mind that PCC may not be able to find a solution anyway, as there is likely some distortion in the wide field lens (or eyepiece if used). |

I used to have this issue and what solved it for me was to not crop the image prior to plate solving. Also, is this a problem with other images that you have processed or just this one? |
