Hi, i'm trying to solve some plates with agetcat, ccmap, etc, and i cannot download the usnob1@noao region, i get an html 404 not found page. Was this task deprecated or some? Maybe my way is not fancy, anyways to plate solve with other iraf package? My situation is: I have CCD images, with pointing acuracy of 1-3 arcmin (FOV of 27x18 arcmin), airmass, splate scale, everything, the last thing to do is to calculate the plate conatants.

Thanks for the help.

See http://iraf.net/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=1469352

The solution is to change the astcat$lib/catdb.dat file so the URL for the service is 'r2.sdm.noao.edu' instead of 'archive.tuc.noao.edu'
