I am getting an error during Online Coordinate Search.  I have tried changing the Database Server.  I am using PI 1.8.8-3. 

I used WBPP for the initial processing.

BTW - clearing / resetting PMCC does not clear the error on the screen.

Hi Jim,

This has been a temporary issue with Simbad database servers, which has already been solved today. The Online Coordinate Search dialog of the PhotometricColorCalibration tool works normally now.

Please note that we have not created this problem. The online search functionality depends on the availability of online database services.

Hi, I am still experiencing the same issue since a few days:

 but it works with imagesolver which doesn't use the same server

is it coming from Simbad site server?

best regards

Philippe
