Hi Bob,

the guys at astrometry recommend using the command line version due to unstable servers at the moment.

The last time I gave the online version a try was four years ago and it was to slow for meaningfull use. So I switch to command line. As I had to start over with astrometry.net this year due to my Ph.D, I got some updates.

Fts? Is it meant to be some kind of fits format? Try using correct fits format, png oder jpg because every other format will be tried to convert into png.

If you need any help with setting up astronmetry.net command line email me.
