PI Photometric help

Fyi, if you load a sub and have it as the active window, you can use that to get the astrometry solution (get from image). You then apply the process to the integrated image. But do use the sub that was the reference during image registration. If you plate solve the integrated image, you can still get the data from (any) sub and use that as a starting point.

Sometimes if it plays up you could try the ImageSolver script first and then run PCC. If that doesn't work just use the normal CC as they both align the channels pretty closely.

Thats what I was doing, hoping that would give a more accurate position to the manual search box but it still wouldnt work, claimed platesolving failed even though it was the same image, clicking ignore metadata seemed to work.
