Hi Seb,
PlateSolving is usually very reliable in Telescopius but, for some reason, this wide field image is failing to solve: [https://telescopius.com/pictures/view/115419/deep\_sky/markarian-chain/markarian-s-chain/by-nico1038](https://telescopius.com/pictures/view/115419/deep_sky/markarian-chain/markarian-s-chain/by-nico1038)
Image center RA: 12 29 02.755 Dec: +12 56 58.70
Field of view 10d 17’ 23.0" x 6d 52’ 37.7"
Resolution 3.980 arcsec/px

Hi Nico,
I’ve just re-queued your picture for plate solving, but if it fails again I’m afraid there’s not much I can do as Telescopius actually uses [Astrometry.net](http://Astrometry.net) service to plate solve.
Weird thing is some pictures are plate solved correctly on [astrometry.net](http://astrometry.net) but not when using their service through the API. I believe they use different index files, but the reason remains unknown to me.

Thanks Seb,
This image is indeed correctly solved on [astrometry.net](http://astrometry.net). I also tried a script I use on Pixinsight to blindsolve images with [astrometry.net](http://astrometry.net) and that also succeeded.
It’s not a big deal anyway, but I thought I’d let you know.

@nico1038 Thanks to your report I noticed a bug when hints were provided. Your picture is now plate solved.
Thanks for helping me identify this problem, and let me know if you run into any other issues!
