Need help with "Insert WCS/AutoAstrometry" in CCDS

I am trying to insert WCS/AutoAstrometry on some images in CCDSoft. I can align the image in TheSky6 and get something like 47 star matches in the image. But when I try in CCDSoft, I get "Error code = 206 (0xce)". When I look on Bisques' site for code 206, it says it happens when activating night vision mode... (!?)

This site seems to be where the experts are, so can anyone help me with this?

thanks,
Charlie

By the way, I started this process quite a while ago, but have been sidetracked. It seems like there is some type of error at every step...

I got this to work finally. Just lots of reading and a little tweaking of the Source Extraction Setup. Thanks for looking if you did.

later,
Charlie
