STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use a video camera with time stamp, an a video capture device, as camera.
2. Go to alignment module and try to solve for a given field.


OBSERVED RESULT
Solver fails because time stamp are interpreted as stars

EXPECTED RESULT
Ignore time stamp and solve

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Not dependent.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
