For the ASI filter wheelI, I would recommend getting a log file and sending it to Jasem.

Wasn't sure which logs or where to find them so I just attached the app output from QT Creator for a run of kstars when the filter wheel didn't work.

One other thing. When I use the internal indi server then the indi control panel button in ekos doesn't get enabled.

I think that looks like pretty useful info. Just looking at the output I suspect it could be a typo or something in the driver. If more info is needed, then if you go to preferences and then the advanced tab, you can select to have it log directly to a file and what info it logs. I would guess in this case you should just check INDI.

I have seen the control panel button do that when it doesnt get all the drivers it expects to receive. Try removing the one at is causing the error from the profile.

Rob,
I completed my first run of tests on the latest DMG. The very good news is that Canon DSLR now work and there seems to be no incompatibility with any other driver I tested. The bad news is that I got a number of crashes of EQ MOD driver and the new SkySafari middleware is not working at all. However, it seems to me that these issues are not related to the DMG per se. In fact, I got the same exact issues with the latest Ubuntu Virtual Machine, so this is either a problem with my machine or a problem of the latest builds of indi_eqmac_telescope and indi_skyserver. By the way, I'm reporting that to Jasem separately in other topics. In addition, I was able to use the EQ MOD driver embedded into CloudMakers Indi Server, so it is likely there is something wrong in the latest build.

Coming back to the DMG, I also tested the connection with the Orion StarShoot AutoGuider and it works perfectly. Plate solving with Astrometry.net is also working, both in local and online modes. I'd say we are almost ready for prime time under the stars. Excellent work.

Great, glad it's working for you. The other indi issues you mentioned will need to be worked out separately. Also, I sent Jasem a new dmg and he posted it here. edu.kde.org/kstars/ The changes I made since the version you tested include night vision support in the what's interesting tool, an added button in the toolbar for what's interesting and also I fixed a possible crash that tool could get under certain circumstances.

Tried to use the Mac Ekos tonight. Typically I use the RPI3 Ekos version. Loved the speed of the plate solving on the Mac.

The Mac Ekos was connecting to the RPI3 running INDI Webserver. It is the same INDI webserver I used to tonight with the RPI3 Ekos, since the Mac did not work.

Could not get the Scheduler to work. It seemed to just hang. I started and stopped the scheduler a few times.

Please let me know if you have any ideas...

Were they any startup/shutdown scripts? What was your startup/constrains/completion settings? If you have an Ekos scheduler list file (.esl), then attach it.

Hi,

No startup or shut down scripts.

Two completion settings were tried:

1. Run sequence until complete
2. Repeat sequence 13 times.

ESL file attached.

Thank you

THanks, can you also attach the sequence file? I'll use everything to replicate the issue.

Absolutely... I should have thought of that: tired. Still imaging though with about 3o minutes before dawn :)

please find it below.

Same setup worked on RPI3 - which is still going now :) Unfortunately NGC 4038 went behind a house though... lol... so went onto next object.

Cheers!
