I followed the instructions to get the local astrometry.net solver going, but selecting "local" is not an option for me? I have moved all of the index files i need to the /usr/share/astrometry folder.

Thanks!

Did you try restarting KStars?

Yes, I followed the instructions here: www.indilib.org/about/ekos/alignment-module.html

Have rebooted everything. The offline is not an option I can choose.

Thanks

On what OS is this? Maybe sure astrometry.net is installed on your system.
sudo apt-get install astrometry.net

My client side is windows 10, I have astrometry.net installed on it. The server side is running the unbuntu mate latest version.

WhenI run that command on the RP3, I get this:

astrometry.net is already the newest version (0.67+dfsg-1).

If you want to use astrometry.net on the RPI3, then you need to select Remote mode, but for this to work, you need to select Astrometry driver in your equipment profile from the Auxiliary dropdown.

Thanks

That's great news as I already have it solving my images well with my current setup on the win10 computer. Thanks again for the help!

Got it figured out, FL was a tad bit off.

Thanks!

Make sure your telescope focal length setting is correct, this is usually the biggest culprit. Also, try to check the logs for astrometry and see where it fails.
