I have my stellarmate up and running well, but I cannot get ASTAP to solve correctly:
youtu.be/DHso98c0trc
Even though the FOV is correct, it looks like ASTAP is using a different field height when it attempts to solve, it looks like it is using 1deg instead of 6-7?
Any ideas what is going wrong? It does solve using the internal solver but then it takes an age!
TIA,

I have plate solving working on my stellarmate but the rotation angles seem strange. The attached image was taken with a 6D/EF200 and it platesolves in Ekos without issue, but the rotation is quoted as -155. If I solve the image in astrometry.net I get 245deg E. I took the image with the camera somewhere around 90deg so the 245deg value seems right. As a consequence of the plate solve calculating -155 it appears in kStars rotated by 90deg:
Any ideas?
TIA,

Knowing that Telescopius output a CSV table of panel coordinates I'm going to explore how I can parse this into creating job files for Ekos that I can import.
If fixing the native mosaic tool is to hard to do, having an easy way to paste the CSV output from Telescopius would be a good workaround.
Is there an easy way of doing this? I use telescopius for planning most of my mosaics...

Second attempt at posting this question.
In windows land I use Synology Drive Sync or Onedrive to upload files from my imaging PC as they are captured. This means they are immediately protected and available for analysis/consumption on my processing pc.
On my ASIAir I had to create a robocopy job to copy the files off, but this is somewhat unreliable as the wifi network fluctuates. I would therefore prefer resilient push-type file sync.
Is there any equivilent option available within Stellarmate?
