1. This works for the current session but isn't persisted.
2. Yay, thank you.
3. I tried the images with the online solver too and they failed. I'll have to think about this more to work out a solution.
4. Ok, I got this to sort of work, but it required some weird behaviour to achieve. So far I've only got Az error testing done (clouds have come over so I'm writing this up)
* I first use kstars to go to an appropriate position (mount menu option to track an object).
* Plate solve, with GOTO set to slew to target.
* Switch GOTO back to sync option
* Switch to Polar Alignment Option
* Ensure the coordinates are updated (this doesn't always happen even though the option is selected)
* Hit the Measure Az Error button - this does the first capture, solves it, then moves the mount 30 arcminutes. At this point nothing else happens - I've left everything alone for up to 5 min and nothing more happens... until I intervene as follows...
* Update the coordinates again - at this point they are never updated so manual intervention is required.
* Switch from Polar Alignment to GOTO mode (sync option selected)
* And this is where the magic happens - hit capture and solve, which it does, but then it immediately switches itself back to Polar Alignment mode, captures another image, solves and then prints the error - or at least what seems to be a reasonable value for an error.
This felt completely bizarre to me and I hope not expected behaviour.
A couple more related requests:
* When using the preview option, could we get the auto-stretch option turned on in the viewer?
* When reporting the error, it gives numbers like 0.0xxx degrees. Is it possible to have it display deg, arcmin, arcsec, instead?
