Hello, 

I have downloaded an optical image in fits format into AIPS 
and I was attempting to plot a section of that image with a symbol over the 
source of interest. 
To position that symbol on the appropriate part of the image, I had made 
a STAR file, which seemed to be properly read in. However when trying 
to make the plot using the kntr program, i get the following error message

KNTR 1: Task KNTR   (release of 31DEC02) begins
KNTR 1: TICINC: POSITION ROUTINES FAIL ON THIS IMAGE

The header of this image  is :

What would you suggest? 
Many thanks
