In my un-scientific test, it scores 50% ... granted I only sent it two images, but still, I'm happy enough with it getting half of them right ... though I'm a bit surprised it missed Orion!

Success:

Submitted 3 images all taken with the same set up which give an image scale of 3.14 arcsec/pixel but the plate solve gave a range of 6-17 arcsec/pixel. Work still to do on this I think.
