The site is at North 26 degrees, so all the target’s transit are above the pole, if I read your question right.

Okay, thanks for the feedback. It’s understandable if it had to be done quickly. If the value is always written in the next subframe, that’s not ideal. Is it possible to write it to the current file...

Looks like a problem with using a comma for decimal point. Look at the fits header for an image that gives the error message, and for an image that does NOT give the error.

This happens when we goof and use “regional” conversion of numbers to strings (in regions that use comma decimal seps. I’m sure that in my haste I forgot and did this. I’ll take a look.
