Hi,
When opening kstars 3.7.1 I get an error massage - “kstars.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

Anyone know what's going on? I'm using an M1 Mac mini

Thank you,
Eli

Hi,
I wonder if someone can set me straight. I recently updated my OTA to use OAG. I was wondering if someone can suggest a good way to set this up in ekos. In the profile do I select the guide camera as camera 2? Also in profile, for the guide tab to I select the mount or the camera? Do I need to set up a separate train for guiding? I didn’t see an option to select the train or camera in the guiding module in ekos.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Eli

This is a great enhancement to the FIT's viewer functionality! Would there be an advantage in also including an option to automate blinking at set fps. I think it may be helpful in identifying possible asteroids and comets in frames preprocessing. Really great work (on the video as well)! thank you!!

Hi Jasem,
Thank you for your message. It was a bad cable. When I changed for a new usb cable the SS2 connected without issue.

All the best,

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to my Sesto inso via asiair pro running stellermateOS. All of a sudden I keep getting this message:

2024-01-06T05:07:54: [ERROR] Failed to connect to port (/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102N_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_3084f8c8ee85eb1183448b1ab7d59897-if00-port0). Error: Port failure Error: No such file or directory. Check if device is connected to this port.

I've tried every port on the ASIair pro always the same message. Also, when I select the CCD simulator I get this error message:

Driver indi_simulator_ccd failed to start on the remote INDI server.

Can someone please advise? I've been using the Sesto senso for about a year without issue via the asiair running stellarmateOS. Also the calibration routine runs fine via the primaluce web app using the SS wifi hotspot.

Thank you,
Eli

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a new Mac laptop and am trying to set up kstars as I had on my old computer. When I try to download the tyco 2 star catalog data and thumbnail images for detail window I get a message "file not found". I don't remember that being an issue on my old computer. Does any one know what the issue is?

Thank you and happy new year to everyone.
