Can you solve your image online?
Can you give a link to the online solve (success or failed) if tried?

How many objects/stars detected?

Try downsampling your image.

The image solved online for me, as is, using default settings.

To get the same results locally, try adding "--downsample 2" to your solve-field command.

Yes now working.  Had to restart the RPi and now works.  Thanks for advice.
