Hello,
When I start Ekos and the Control Panel appears, there is a gain/offset listed in the Main Control Tab of the camera. When I go to schedule the run for the camera, I can leave the Gain and Offset at "--". does that mean the default is used or are the Gain/Offset set to 0 for the run? As a follow on question, does changing the gain/offset in the schedule does it override the default?

Hello all,
I’m using the polar alignment tool with my polemaster on my Losmandy GM811G. Twice now, EKOS reports less than 1’ of polar error, but phd2 reports greater than 10’ of polar error.
Last night, I did a second polar alignment with my main scope (336mm fl with a 2.9um camera) and found that the alignment was indeed off by close to 10’. After completing that, phd2 agreed with the final polar error of around 1’. Is there something about the process or the camera that makes the polemaster inaccurate? Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

Hi Jasem
I didn't know there were different versions. I guess I just followed the download link in the email. How can I download the image for it? When I go to the downloads page on stellarmate.com, it takes me to the orders page.

Hello,
I am trying to use the polar alignment module with my Stellarvue SVX-102T (714mm FL @ 101.5mm) main scope and QHY183C Camera (2.4um pixels at 5544*3694). When I polar align, I use the following process:
Jasem,
I've attached the logs for the crashes last night. It's definitely related to the solver and I am certain it goes away when I run a capture and solve with the "sync" option selected. I do have the core dumps if that helps.
Anand
This makes sense. I noticed that the messages were saying that WCS was not set. At one point, I ran capture and solve with the "do nothing" option and it set it. I can't be sure, but I don't think it crashed after that. I will make an effort to be more deliberate with the testing to reproduce the crash.

Jasem,
I recompiled the Waveshare driver yesterday before trying again. I skipped alignment and went straight into Polar alignment and it did crash once. I've only just seen the link in your signature for submitting logs, so I'll wait until I have a clear night and try again with to capture logs. I'll post here as soon as I have those.
