This week my new rapsberry PI 4 arrived. I installed Astroberry without any problems.

I have noticed that in Kstars the reference to ASTAP is /usr/local/share/bin/ASTAP, but ASTAP is installed in /opt/astap/ASTAP. So I made a symbolic link in /usr/local/share/bin to the binary. Then ASTAP works fine in KStars.

When I performed plate solving with Astromery.net (online) it took 101 s. Performing plate solving with Astrometry.net (offline) took 29s. ASTAP managed the job in 8s.

Now I'm waiting for some clear skies to perform the ultimate test

Kind regards,
Gunther
