<div class="markdown_content"><p>I'm personally not using Nina but others do use it with a 10micron mount. Probally best is to ask for help in the Nina Discord discussion group. Or you could use the CCDciel program instead which I could help you much better with.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Is there a way to build a 10u pointing model outside of NINA? I can then see if it's an issue with the 10u plugin.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Right. Here’s the thing - it appears that 10u pointing model or NINA isn’t passing the image to ASTAP correctly. I can plate solve with NINA using the exact same image using the plate solve button. </p> <p>So the 10u plugin - or NINA isn’t pointing to the correct .fits file or the file is getting corrupted. Any ideas?</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Yes strange. With your field-of-view of 3.9 x 2.6 degrees, even a one second exposure should see a massive amount of stars and solve easily. There is something wrong with your setup. The header indicates IMAGETYP= 'LIGHT' </p> <p>Han</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>I just opened the .fits file and I just see snow - there's no image. So strange - I'm able to see images in the image view field and NINA platesolves when I press the button. But the 10u .fits file is snow. </p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Thanks - I've tried to lengthen the expsosure time - and have used 3, 5, 10, 30, and 60 second exposures. I'll send the log and an image - thanks for the help!!</p> <p>Adam</p></div>
