When you set up a profile on the first page in Ekos, under "Select Telescopes", there is the option to specify multiple telescopes but also multiple eyepieces and lenses.
But where do you use/select the entered lens information? I can't find where to set this. You select Primary scope and Guide scope on the first page, but not which lens you use.
I entered the aperture and focal length for my William Optics GT 81, and the 0.8x reduction of the flattener (under "Lens").
But the lens has no effect since I can't select it anywhere...??
In the "Mount" tab, the telescope information is correctly imported, but neither here is any option to select my lens (the flattener).
Is it in this tab I should enter the calculated focal length (including the 0.8x flattener)? And in that case, why is there an option to enter the flattener information when creating the profile?
I was able to control two scopes with one instance of KStars. I'm using the INDI interface directly, not going through Ekos. Compared to most of you, this is a very rudimentary setup. We have a roll-off with two scopes (142 mm refractor and a 356 mm SCT) that we want to use for visual observing.
Once I "aligned" the two scopes (I'm doing this in broad daylight) and connected each scope using the INDI panel, the two icons appeared on the KStars map. If I right-clicked a position on the map, the drop-down menu gave me the choice of slewing either scope to that position. Seem to work fine.
In each case, the computer is connected to the scope hand-controller via a USB interface.
