Anyone having issues with Astrometry.net?

[Stub Mandrel]

I seem to be unable to get a success with astrometry.net at the moment. In that past only a couple of my images have been poor enough to fail. yesterday it failed to identify M56 despite being given approximate RA/DEC FOV etc. Just now it has failed to locate M39 (I hope it IS M39) from this picture. I really can't see why It would struggle with this image compared to what I have uploaded in the past?

My interest is in finding any hidden gems in the background!

No clue, but I've been finding glitches on the net-at-large for quite a few hours myself.

What's that nasty, ol' star of ours been up to..... ?

Nope - that shouldn't be it..... Maybe the DPRK's latest launch smashed into a communications-satellite?

Who knows -

Interesting site - I think I saw noctilucent clouds last night, it wasn't long after sunrise though, but all the northern sky was rippled stripes of cloud - perhaps not high enough though.
