I hope you mean 7624 not 7642?? If you are trying to connect to the wrong port, that could explain why it can't find the indi server

This is what I get in the window below the solver using either Astap or Offline Atrometry. Online astrometry works. I don't see any commands being issued. The settings show everything is installed including all astrometry files. If I try to set up python, it says they're all already installed. I think because I installed python 3.8 for Mount Wizard to run, it somehow messed things up. But I don't know enough about any of it to fix it.

Here's my log if that sheds any more light on it.

So I made another DMG because they said they worked on some things related to a crash. Also, this one does include LIMESDR, INDI Webcam, and RTLSDR which were missing from the last build due to build issues, which now seem to be resolved.

Please make sure there are no new issues.

Lead_weight,

I just took a look at your log. This is the critical set of lines:

"AttributeError: 'NoPyfits' object has no attribute 'open'\naugment-xylist.c:589:backtick Failed to run command: "

Based on what I see here, I'm pretty sure that the issue is that it can't find either the pyfits or the astropy packages (astropy is preferable now). You can probably easily solve this by just installing astropy in all of your python3 installations and then whichever one it ends up using, it will have astropy installed. For an example, assuming python3 Is already installed in /usr/local/bin:

/usr/local/bin/pip3 install astropy

or pip install astropy

or whatever pip/python you have installed at whatever path it is located.

Hi Andrew,

as you are using MW4, this installation resides in a virtual environment. MW4 install in this environment astropy as well, but this could not be seen from any other place. All MW4 python package installations are contained in the virtual environment. The hints of Robert apply to this situation.

Sorry about that, I just updated the link above to match what mactech posted. I just copied and pasted what the server said the link was and forgot that the actual link gets changed when it is accessed from afar

I hope I did the right thing.
This is the result:

And did you try copying and pasting the commands into OS X Terminal? If you try to do it now, it won't work because the image it is trying to solve would no longer exist, but if you plate solve again, copy and paste it into terminal, and hit enter, and then see what it does, that is what we need. For example, in what you just copied and pasted, here is what you need to put into Terminal:

Command 1:

export PATH=/Applications/KStars.app/Contents/MacOS/netpbm/bin:/usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

Command 2:

/Applications/KStars.app/Contents/MacOS/astrometry/bin/solve-field -O --no-plots --no-verify --resort --downsample 2 -L 24.1591 -H 26.7022 -u aw -3 84.0609 -4 -5.37996 -5 30 --config /Applications/KStars.app/Contents/MacOS/astrometry/bin/astrometry.cfg -W /private/var/folders/d5/vxb59b0j5xgbgprtn4xh2gbw0000gn/T/solution.wcs /private/var/folders/d5/vxb59b0j5xgbgprtn4xh2gbw0000gn/T/fitsTJVdqG.fits

And then see what it does in the terminal. The results of the commands is what we are looking for.

I've run into a problem that I've not experienced before. I've been using a new ZWO ASI2600MC-Pro for the last few imaging sessions. Today I decided to go back to my ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro and filter wheel. Got everything connected, and KStars/EKOS recognizes all the equipment, but will not connect to either my guide cam or the 1600, even though it shows it in the driver window. I've tried in both Linux on the Pi4 and the Mac. Any idea what might be happening?

I've tested both cameras directly connected to the mac, and they work. I've also tried them connected through my Pegasus UPB to the mac and other imaging programs see them. But EKos will not for some reason. It is recognizing the hub on the 1600 because it sees and controls the Filter wheel, and it shows the guide cam listed, but the two cameras will not connect.
