The other thing I should probably say is that if you have already run my kstars program and you would like to try out the new dmg with the wizard, you will need to either delete or remove two folders so that it is like a fresh install. If you are like me and already have some nice index files in the astrometry folder and you have all kinds of important data like gsc, the tycho database, and others in your data directory. Just rename the folders maybe astrometry_backup and kstars_backup.
I would say get the log files and send them to Jasem. If the focuser does work and the ccd does work in kstars on OS X, then any other bugs like that are almost certain to be actual kstars code issues and not OS X issues.
Ok yeah, then definitely a code issue. I know Jasem was working on the CCD class because of his intent to add video streaming capability. He also recently added a really nice feature where you can see get almost a live view image while you are focusing with real time hfr and profiles. Send him any logs you can get on any errors you see.
I'm testing the new installed, and I'm glad to see that the 'Download New Data' works well. No issues on that part.
by the way, this is done on my non-dev laptop.
Ok I will revise the instructions, apparently this command worked better. I don't know honestly why one worked and the other didn't. But since this is the one on brew's website, I will go with it!
Shall we not have in the "KStars for Mac Quick Start Guide" pdf file a section explaining that you need to setup the Indi and Ekos/Astrometry settings set to *internal solver* ?
