I tried various exposure times from 5s up to 30s. I looked at the images that BYEOS was taking - you can clearly see the star field. Its tracking as you can see from the image below. Looking at the log it goes thru a whole series of FITs looking for the match and can never solve. I check the two boxes in the Action blco - to sync and reslew to target. Go to the AT screen, connect to the mount, click on setup for the camera and set the iso, then the exposure time. My start up process, after polar alignment, is to power down the mount, start CDC, power the mount up, connect to the mount. I have made sure that all three pieces of software are using the same EPOCH settings - JNOW. I installed Astrotorilla 0.7 per the instructions on lightvortexastronomy - , including all the index files that fit the calculated FOV and the 20% FOV. I am controlling the mount (EQ-6 Pro) via a PC laptop using ASCOM (EqMod). I am using CDC and Backyard EOS, so Astrotortilla seemed like the best option. I'm still climbing a learning curve - and while I've gotten some of the 3-star alignment issues resolved that I was having, I really want to get plate solving working.
