PCC is giving me an error that I have never had before I I can't figure out why. This is link to the file -M63 . My focal length is 925, pixel size is 4.63 and target is M63.
Any ideas or suggestions
Thanks

*** Error: Unable to find an initial set of putative star pair matches.
*** Error: The image could not be aligned with the reference star field.
Please check the following items:
- The initial coordinates should be inside the image.
- The initial resolution should be within a factor of 2 from the correct value.
- Adjust the star detection sensitivity parameter, so that the script can detect most of the stars in the image without mistaking noise for stars.
- The catalog should be matched to the image. Choose the appropriate catalog and magnitude filter, so that the number of stars extracted from the catalog can be similar to the number of stars detected in the image.
*** Error: Unable to plate solve image: Alignment failed.
This usually happens because the initial parameters are too far from the actual metadata of the image.
** Warning: Process finished with errors:
PCC_T_K4VFM2O91KWV.xisf: The image could not be plate solved
*** Error: Failure to plate solve image: m63
