Hello again Hy. I've been getting more familiar with using EKOS by way of the simulators and so far all is going well. It looks like I might get some clear skies in a week and I'll be trying things with my DSLR and scope. Wondering if you could answer a question I've been wondering about. If I did not enter the pixel dimensions of my camera (5184x3456 mm) and either entered or did not enter the aperature and focal length of my imaging scope, but I left the auto update position and auto update imaging options in the alignment Scale & Position options checked, would EKOS enter the correct image info and FOV after doing a plate solve? My reason for asking is that I'm not sure if the trouble I was having was due to a corrupt INDI-FULL gsc file or something strange that happened when entering my camera specs. I guess what I'm asking is if there might be a way to have EKOS set the correct FOV specs based on what happens when trying to Plate Solve. Thanks for any ideas.
