@DENIS, I'm not an expert, but you will probably need Global Star catalog (GSC) too.
Here are some resources, to get you started:
indilib.org/forum/ekos/12503-yet-another...do-i-install-it.html
sourceforge.net/projects/indistarter/files/GSC/
indilib.org/forum/ekos/11848-gsc-catalog...mulations/83709.html
launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages
I wrote article on how to add GCS to your existing Raspberry PI astro instalation:

I must say that I totaly agree with Denis here. With all respect, but Ekos UX really isn't great. I prefer AstraLite UX over Ekos so far. What's even point in working on new application if it is copy of existing one or if it requires existing one to operate. I think star chart, even most simple one, would be great addition to AstraLite. Denis made great work here and we should support that in every possible way.

That's great to hear! It would be nice to have automated startup. You just turn on your Raspberry PI, INDI server GUI sould take care of loading all the preconfigured drivers (indi_eqmod_telescope,indi_pylibcamera,indi_gpds in my case) and Raspberry PI is ready to be accessed remotelly or locally for astro session. That at least is my prefered user case.

@MATTIA thank you for explination. Does INDI Server GUI provide automatic driver startup at system boot? This feature of INDI Web manager is really great, because I don't have to connect to Raspberry PI to start INDI server and proper drivers. It all happens automagically Web interface is also very useful for quick reconfiguration or driver restart.

What about INDI Web Manager? I find it very usefull.

It would be great to have some sort of GOTO functionality. Mayge just a list of stellar objects to select from or RA and DE fields to manually enter coordinates?

Simon is friends with Ronald Schreiber
Yes, I think it came with version 0.0.35 or later. I uploded log to git hub issue.

There is another issue with indy_pylibcamera driver.
Property 'CCD_FRAME' of device 'indi_pylibcamera' is read only.
@MATTIA Great job! Would you consider including indi_pylibcamera driver (github.com/scriptorron/indi_pylibcamera) into your AstroArch distro?

Nope! Same thing.
