Last night I tried again to get capture and solve to run successfully. This time I captured NGC6960 using a 200mm lens with my canon as a primary scope and I used the ZWO ASI 120mm mono Mini together with my 80/600 scope as guiding scope. I observed the following:
1.) Using 80/600 and ZWO capture and solve worked very well. After it was dark enough the solver found a solution each time!
2.) Using the Canon with 200mm lens with capture and solved failed again each time.
With the Canon I tried several things: I switched on and of "use scaling" and the WKS. Nothing helped. I also changed the image dimensions of the Canon to the correct values:Max. image resolution:5184 x 3456
And also changed the pixel pitch: <strong>4.29</strong> µm
In the Ekos log file still the old value for the image width 5208 was used, this is the only thing that I could find. A few weeks ago I captured and solved successfully with the Canon and a 300mm lens - this was done using the previous version of kStars 3.5.3 on the Raspberry PI directly. Now I'm running 3.5.4 stable on the MacBook Air - and using this version it always fails. I don't believe that it would work with the 300mm lens - and I did not try it yesterday. This morning I used the simulator setup with "load and slew" using one single captured subframe I shot yesterday with the camera and it was indeed solved correctly - kStars moved the virtual scope to NGC6960 again. It also seems that the exposure time textbox now only accepts times below 60s - I tried yesterday 90s and 120s but only 9s and 12s were accepted.
So, now I'm completely lost here. It just does not work and I could also not find anything useful in the log files. I have uploaded both the Ekos log and the astrometry.net log (internal solver) to my cloud drive (the complete files). You can find it here:
Cloud Drive
For your convenience I will include some small parts here, but perhaps the "experts" need to have a look at the entire log file. The astrometry.net log is extremely useless for me, because it just does not show any time, so you have no chance to bring it in relation to the Ekos log.

In the entire log you will find several entries for org.kde.kstars.ekos.align, some for the ZWO "successfully" solved and all for the Canon without success. Maybe, anybody else finds a hint of what's going wrong here and what I would need to change in my settings. However, the settings must also be used by Ekos when I change them. I'm a little bit concerned about the different image widths, but I double checked that I entered the correct image with in the driver settings. When nothing else helps I can only hope for another version of kStars or I can just delete anything in reinstall it to avoid any wrong settings.
Starts to become a little bit frustrating...
PS: I also noticed another thing: the solver took about 6s for the ZWO but timed out really immediately after the start when using a captured image from my canon. However, the index files must be readable, otherwise I could not use one of my captured image from my session yesterday to load and slew...
PSS: The last trial for the alignment module around 03:26 CEST was done without any filter and with long exposures. I also checked that an image preview of the camera did show stars in the image, because the sky background was already becoming brighter.
Any help is highly appreciated...
Thanks in advance...
