Hi!

Now I've updated to Ubuntu 15.10, and installed kstars-bleeding and indi-full. However, I would prefer to use the online solver for the moment (preserving HD space). But when I try the online solver it fails.

I use telescope simulator and CCD simulator for the moment, start Ekos and Indi, and connect, everything looks fine. I click the button for taking a picture and solving, and get this output:

2015-11-05T21:06:07 Error downloading nova.astrometry.net/api/upload/ - server replied: INTERNAL SERVER ERROR

The setting in Kstars - Ekos for API is nova.astrometry.net
What's going on here? What can I check, try?

Sometimes it just fails. Also, it's better to register your own API key and save it in the settings, the default one in KStars is mine.

I've seen this happen a lot as well, it doesn't seem to be the most reliable service. So I just installed it locally and that works faster and just as fine.
