I get that too. When I load a long set of observations the solution that
comes up immediately might have small residuals and only use some of the
observations. I make any sort of tweek to the conditions and autosolve
and the residual goes off into the thousands or hundreds of thousands of
arcsec.


I'll try Bill's suggestion but I've tried something similar and it works
sometimes but not always.
