[vsnet-chat 4909] Problems with Pixy System 2

[Francisco Manuel Rica Romero <fco.rica@sinix.net>]

Dear Friends:

I am trying to use in the first time the wonderfool Pixy Systems 2
software for astrometry in a region of the sky around the star SAO 1.

I have a DSS image of SAO 1 with 5'x5' size. I want to use a "VizieR
Service USNO 1.0/2.0" catalog.
I have comprobed that both the DSS image and file text with USNO-A2.0
stars are  correct by using "View Image" and "View Star Chart" options
of "Tool" menu in "Main Panel". Once the DSS image was invert with
"Reverse Upside down"
option, the stars in catalogs are recongnized perfectly in DSS image.

When I active Pixy System Desktop I made followed:

1. Open the CCD image of SAO 1. Without problem.
2. Select "Detect Stars". Without problem.
3. Select "Match" options and select "VizieR Service USNO 1.0/2.0"
catalog, the AR and DEC (00h 02m 41.81 +82d 58' 23''5) and the field of
view (5'x5')
4.- In "Matching Setting" screen I select the first option "Default
Matching". Push "OK" button.

After few seconds a message is showed with the followed text "Matching
between the detected stars and the catalog data was probably failed...".

What happend? What am I doing bad?

Than you.
