It looks like the format of the site Lat/Long isn't being interpreted by PixInsight.
It appears your image capture program didn't write spaces between the values (which to me appears non-standard)?
If you forcibly remove the values, the problem will likely go away.
You might also try to override the embedding of image properties? I am not certain if LAT/Long falls in the category...
Anyway, it is clear what is going on. I just don't know how to fix it. :)

Thank you for your reply! I really appreciate your insight. i'm using SGP, i've never had this error in the past. is there something that needs to be changed in SGP?

will this error have any influence on the actual integration of my images?

any other information would be much appreciated.

thanks

No... I don't think this has anything to do with the data itself. It is an issue with the interpretation of the FITs header information (and in this particular case, it isn't an important value).
I am certain someone more knowledgeable will comment soon.

apparently this is a longstanding bug in SGP (which, although i have been using it for years, i have never run into this problem - TBH i think i am 2 versions behind on PI now.)

seems like any SGP >= 3.1.0.205 (or >= 3.0.3.206) should fix the problem.
