Hi there,
This is my first post in this forum since I'm just beginning with this new hobby.
I already spent a couple of weeks setting up my configuration and now it seems I'm more or less prepared to catch my first light.
I have latest and updated stellarmate installed on a RPI 4 with 8gb of RAM. Ultimate goal is to be able to nomad with my setup where the sky is the clearest. But that's not for tomorrow...
So for the time being, I'm learning at home (with domestic power supply, one thing at the time).
These last days, the sky was clear so I decided to give it a try. Installed the gear, did a PA, connected everything and fired up stellarmate. I could connect to it via NoVPN (was cold outside) without problems. First goal was to try the polar align assistant of kstars. So I pointed the scope to Polaris (with mount turned off) and then then hit start in the assistant. It captured an image (I could see it) and started solving. But failed. I tried several time with different settings (for example, increasing capture time to have more stars), but with no luck.
So I came to this forum and tried to find a solution to my problem. Of course I didn't, but I learned to activate logs to get a better understanding. But that didn't really help. So I figured I would post here, hoping that confirmed users might help me. Logs are attached.
A few words on stellarmate. Installation was flawless (I'm 20+ years user on linux and derivatives) and everything works perfectly, except I still haven't find how to configure resolution in NoVNC when using it headless. But that's not a problem for now. I'm learning kstars, it's a great piece of software and certainly needs some time to master it. Not there yet. It has crashed on several occasions (still need to figure out why), but since I was concentrating on trying to use the PA assistant, I left that aside.
Sorry for this first long post, I'll try to be more concise next time
Thanks for reading (and sorry for my English, I'm not a native english speaker).
