My configuration:
1) Canon M50, shooting RAW (.CR3)
2) BYE version 3.2.2 Premium Edition
3) ASTAP version 0.9.531 dated 2021-5-2
4) Telescope control: Celestron CPWI v2.4.0 (Beta)
5) Target coordinates via Cartes du Ciel v4.2.1
In this configuration plate solving via BYE and ASTAP always fails. BYE goes through all the right motions, moving the scope, taking a picture and launching ASTAP but always announces that Plate Solving has failed. At fist I suspected that the conditions that ASTAP requires for plate solving were not satisfied, but looking around in the BackyardTEMP\Download folders, I can find the ASTAP output files which indicate that plate solving was successfull. At one time, I had this all working. However, I have updated BYE, ASTAP and CPWI since that time (note that new ASTAP versions become available almost everyday). Somewhere along the way, I have lost the formula.
I am hoping that someone can have a look at the logPLATESOLVE_ra(12.40017)_dec(15.70465)_20210504-22h29m21s681ms.CR3.ini and give me some advise that I can use to get this all working again.

I am happy to report that with version ß0.9.554, ASTAP now works again with BackYardEOS when using libraw (I have a Canon M50 which produces .CR3 files). I tested both BYE v3.2.2 and BYE v3.2.3RC1.
