Thank you Jasem. But I am still hoping for Manual filter or filter drawer option.

Thank you Jasem,

looks great, happy to test the new features.

Just a hint: You should update the download links here on the indilib.org website, they still point to 2.9.6.

Regards

Amin

FYI. The update wiped clean my Wish List in the observation planner.

What what OS? The local settings directory is not touched by KStars installations. Can you please edit your signature to include your equipment + OS as well?

Hi,
Once again, thank you Jasem

i've purchased StallarmateOs to test new live toy :
"Authentication failed" when i enter credentials
is there a delay between subscription and time to play ?

Gilles.

Custom drivers was exactly what I was hoping for as I was gifted another Canon 550D to the one I own already.
Will be testing this at the next available opportunity.

EkosLive is different from StellarMateOS. You can subscribe to EkosLive here --> www.stellarmate.com/products/ekos-live.html

another question (it might not be the good place to ask...)
This free version of EkosLive is limited in time : will it be possible to subscribe again ?

Yes. Now it's in beta still. When it's out of beta and after I see the usage & costs, I'll decide what course of action to follow later.

I am using a Raspberry Pi, Lubuntu 16.04.
Signature updated.

Unfortunately I've had some issues with v2.9.7

Mac:
1) On Mac OSX its broken the astrometry installation. The references are all for linux and point to directories that simply don't exist, and while I had some issues plate solving (it was setting related) it at least was able to run

2) permissions errors - any dialog box that pop's up looking to select a directory locks up Kstars/EKOS until you do a force quit of the application. Why is this even happening? I've been messing around with KStars since v2.9.4 and never seen this before.

I originally just installed it over the top of v2.9.6 and immediately noticed astrometry was broken. I've tried uninstalling it and emptying the trash and re-installing it. No difference for the astrometry app. I have managed to search for the binaries and put that path into directories to get astrometry back and pointing to the right files. BUT, by default if you download new index files for astrometry to work, I also get file permission errors!!! I had to create a directory somewhere else for it to allow me to download the astrometry index files.

It's almost like the re-packaging for Mac has all the linux file paths in there looking at it and the troubleshooting I did.

I think I need to completely remove KStars/EKOS *completely* and then start again. Does anyone have this list of other directories where files are placed to make sure it's been removed properly. However, based on the error's I've had, unless the package is looked at I think I'll just have the same errors

Stellarmate:
On Stellarmate, it has also broken the Astrometry install by the looks of it. When I noticed it was broken on my Mac, I thought I'd switch over to the stellarmate to try and do plate solving. It immediately error'd out saying something about missing binaries. I was just lucky that I had internet connected and could plate solve online, but I'm not going to do most of my imaging with Internet available so I need to get back to where I was with v2.9.6 reliably doing plate solving.

Here some recent logs from imaging on the weekend, but I'm not sure it'll show the issue's I'm seeing...... I hope these logs help diagnose the situation because the other parts of v2.9.7 look really good

Just re-installed and tested, plate solving is still broken after re-installing v2.9.7 - also attached is the logs from just now.
