hi Juergen

Yes i'm using 2.0.3 with kstars 3.6.2 because when i tried to use the indi libraries that comes with debian nothing worked, no cams no mounts, so i tried to install again from sources, but the indi version was 2.0.3, also i installed the thirdparty drivers.
I'm not sure if it'll work well, I mean installing last kstars version, because i must install not for the Debian repository, using flatpak or source, not sure it'll work well.

But anyway, i don't understand why driver could work in 1.9.8 and not in 2.0.3

regards,

In one month, no answers? nobody knows? can't believe that i'm the only one that uses a eq3-2 goto kit with indy before and now it doesn't work.

Hello,

I was using indi previous version for a long time, i recently updated to 2.0.3 version, and now, kstar/ekos don't connect to my eq3-2 mount (with kit goto), this mount worked fine with eqmod driver in the previous version, but in this is not working , neither other skywatcher drivers.

my indi versiĆ³n is the latest, 2.0.3 running in linux debian 12 , with kstar/ekos 3.6.2

This is the log of eqmod driver.

As I said, my version is 3.4.3 that's the one that came with Debian 11, I saw that newer versions got it resolved.

But I finally solved it, i found this page astro.vanbuitenen.nl/cometels with a list of comets that includes C/2022 E3 ZTF , i followed the instructions and downloaded it in $HOME/.local/share/kstars/comets.dat and problem resolved, now i've the list renewed and he comet C/2022 E3 ZTF appears.
