Hello.
I have a photostream on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/gp/rocco_parisi/L7EZdM where I also add my astronomical images.
by posting them in https://www.flickr.com/groups/astrometry/ the system posts a comment with astrometric image data.
I have noticed an anomaly for some time now: in the comment there is the "View in World Wide Telescope" link but the position of my images on the map is incorrect.
More precisely: the center of the FOV is accurate, but the image is rotated 180 degrees.
Thank you

Hello. Update my question with this.
The rotation abnormality in WWT is only through the link in the Flickr comment.
In fact, by clicking here http://nova.astrometry.net/user_images/1848632#annotated the image position is correct, while clicking the link in the comment here https://flic.kr/p/ZRLVAG the image is rotated over 180 degrees (see attached image)
Any ideas what causes this?
