I am unable to plate solve or capture images with the Camera CCD Simulator in MAC EKOS 3.5.8 with GSC installed despite different gain settings of zero to 100 as well as different exposure times up to 5 seconds with Binning 1:1 or 2:2. Any suggestions?
You said "Plate solve OR capture images". Are you saying that you can't capture images, that your images have no stars in them, or that you can't plate solve them? Those are all different things. If the issue is that your images are not solving, do you have the right index files installed and do you see a decent number of stars in the images? Did you try 10 or 20 second exposures? What are your settings in the plate solver and did you enable logging to see what is going on?
