Thank Megiddo.
i use astrometry in Kstars without problem with my C8 
.
But, like the sky is cloundy now, i play with kstars/ekos.
I would like to use it with my dslr when i take un picture in wide field (lens at 20mm) and drive the gear to the good place. But i think the problem is with the simulator. I'm persuaded that work fine in real world.

I tried,with the ccd and telescope simulators, to simulate a dslr and resolve a wide field (20°x30°). I configured the telescope simulator with focal length to 40mm. The ccd has the sames characteristics of my dslr, 6000x4000 and pixel to 3.7µ.
I can take a photo with the capture module and I see a lot of stars.
But with the align module the image returned is completely grey (no star appear) and the solver doesn't resolve anything. The fov calculated is very strange (1.87e+3' x 1.2e+3').
If a use the load & slew I can resolve the field, the telescope move to the target and take a new photo but this last stay grey also.
It's a issue of the align module ?

i have the same issue :

I done some more tests with and without image compression (from the indi panel).
When I capture image without compression, I see the fits file used by the solver in the /tmp directory :
and the log show that he use the file :
A,Dec = (299.9,22.7201), pixel scale 0.932895 arcsec/pix.

When i use the image compress in indi control panel, the solver doesn't work. I have the message below :

I just checked from my favorite place (south of France) and the difference between Kstars and Stellarium isn't large.
But now, the good question is who has reason ?

Hi,
great ! please, could you post some photos. And i have a question : why choose the cem120 rather an eq8 for example ?

since a couple of days, I have a strange behavior during make.
I deleted kstars folder and reloaded from github the complete project and I always the same error. What's the -lsecret-1 in the ld command ?
Could you help me ?
