Auto-Solve

Hi,

     when I load observations into FIND_ORB and don't do anything, I get a smaller mean residual (0.216") than I do if I hit Auto Solve (0.294"). I have two sets of observations (3 images, 30 min arc) 9 days apart, from 50 days ago.

The difference in the calculation of the Ephemeris is large enough to put it out of the telescope viewfinder.

Am I missing something?
