Ted,
With the addition of Optical Trains, I don't know anymore if it is required to configure scope properties in INDI. They can be found in your mount's INDI panel in the Options tab. A quick test might verify whether that takes care of things?

Thanks mate. Indeed all indexes are installed
I found a solution . If I untickin the tab scale and position the option use position Ra ekos becomes a blind solver . Now it shows the ra and dec of pictue after click.
The only thing is I have to operate all this from vnc interface.

Hi Daniel,
you find the discription of the settings here:
www.indilib.org/ccds/toupcam-cameras.html
The Threshold is a kind of switch. If your gain is below you habe LCG and if it is above you have HCG.
In very simple words LCG means more fullwell but higher noise and HCG less fullwell and lesser noise.
The ration is 3.05
Offset has to be put to avoid clipping. You can take a Bias frame with your settings and the min value of the image has be above 0.
Usally the offset it is in ballpark of 200 to 300.
Hope that helps.
Best Regards
Sven

Running ubuntu 22.04 KStars 3.6.3 and indi 2.0.0. Having failures saving images.Seems like the problem that comes and goes from time to time.
Whether or not related, do not have control of the directory to use for saving images. KStars/Ekos and the drivers are running on the Odroid but the same issue is happening on a x86-64 system.
In Ekos specify to save the image locally and specify "/astro/collect"
On the indi camera panel specify client "/astro/collect". These local/remote settings do not seem to effect the problem.
I save and reload the indi setting and it is stable.
In the indi panel when it starts taking an image it changes the directory specification to use backward slash "\astro\collect\Light\LPR".
It fails to save the images and has in the past created a directory named "~\astro\collect\Light\LPR" in the home directory, at times placing files in that directory. Usully it just fails without the directory being created.
I don't know where the back slash specification is coming from the .indi directory after failure looks normal:
<newSwitchVector device='ZWO CCD ASI294MM Pro' name='UPLOAD_MODE'>
<oneSwitch name='UPLOAD_CLIENT'>
Off
</oneSwitch>
<oneSwitch name='UPLOAD_LOCAL'>
On
</oneSwitch>
<oneSwitch name='UPLOAD_BOTH'>
Off
</oneSwitch>
</newSwitchVector>
<newTextVector device='ZWO CCD ASI294MM Pro' name='UPLOAD_SETTINGS'>
<oneText name='UPLOAD_DIR'>
/astro/collect
</oneText>
<oneText name='UPLOAD_PREFIX'>
Light_LPR_10_secs_XXX
</oneText>
</newTextVector>
The log file indicates the correct expected directory is being used.
"/astro/collect/Light/LPR/Light_LPR"
With "~\astro\collect\Light\LPR" being set as the directory to use
and two systems showing the same problem. Can that blacklash specification be located and avoided. There was some combination of things that started working yesterday but not finding it again today.

- Start KStars, Ekos and your profile.
- Then switch to the alignment tab and click on the "Options..." button in the right lower corner, which opens the alignment options
- Switch to the "Index Files" section. Here you can check which files are installed and install those that are missing
Here is a screenshot:

A newly selected Nightly Build for Ubuntu only seems to be downloading Ver 3.6.4 Beta, but the daily downloaded upgrade files appear to be for 6:3.6.3 How do I return to the ver 3.6.3 nightly build? Or has that nightly version finished.
Previously I had a stable version of ver 3.6.3 on a Kubuntu partition, and the nightly build of Ver 3.6.3 on an Ubuntu Partition of a triple boot PC, but now I have 2 beta versions, both ver 3.6.4 Beta
I do know how to go back to a stable version.

Thanks Jasem ! If i am correct....i have to create 2 trains,one for captur images (the primary) and one for guiding (secondary).
i use for guiding an OAG with ASI 290 (with the same telescope)
So my primary train is the primary (as the image below) and the guiding train is the seconde image (secondary)

Have you checked whether the astrometry files are present? It might be that the files for the corresponding lens are missing.

Please find the attached error ekos gives. This I've obtained using the vnc interface of stellarmate. Also the image captured . This image was solved on nova astrometry. All attached

Hi,
I have the same error as Rafael and Derek when launching Kstars...
Any idea of what happens ?
Thanks

Dear Jasem,
Thanks for trying. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. All it does is give crazy values if I try to rotate, It doesn't even move.
Once I found out how to do it, it was easier to change the actual driver and compile it myself but unfortunately, also this doesn't work since I am mostly running on astroberries which doesn't give me the option because if I compile the drivers it breaks the eqmod driver.
Again, thank you for trying but it makes more sense to revert to the original driver.
Best,
Michael

I'm observing a handful of mag 19 or 20 asteroids. I would like to have them available loaded in Kstars, but in order to do so I have to set the download limit to mag 20 and Kstars becomes very slow.
Is it possible to add only selected asteroids? Happy to do so manually by updating asteroids.dat myself with a python script or something. So that I can keep the download limit to 12 and just add the asteroids I'm interested in.
