Over the years the conditions have changed to include bigger sensors and faster optics, resulting in wider FOVs. This can allow PinPoint to be more picky about matching. There have been reported a small number of false solutions. At a minimum increase the base MIN_MATCH_STARS from 8 to a higher number. In addition, probably increase the output of the heuristic that auto-chooses Plate.MinMatchStars based on the number of available catalog and available image stars.

This will require LOTS of regression tests!!
