Same problem here although I feel it works when using manual flat duration. When using ADU the job remains at idle when starting, the first image is taken and then nothing more happens. Stopping the job and restarting either lets KStars crash or lose the connection to the INDI-server.

I agree with everything you observed, except I cannot record the flat manually either, IF I select the image type as 'Flat'. It works fine (manually) when I select 'Light'.

Anyone tried nightly to see if this issue with the flats is resolved?

I have this issue too: not only I receive a Preview window, but after this KStars crashes. This is a new issue with 2.9.8

Please check nightly and report back.

Seems to be working fine now with the nightly version I installed this morning.

Is there a place to download a nightly build for macOS? I have the same problem. thank you.

I have the same issue on MacOS. Flats fail with automated ADU value, then after it captures the first one, EKOS crashes. Is there a way to grab the nightly for MacOS? Or publish the fixes to the next version.

We need to get KStars to build on KDE build farm. MacOS is the last remaining build and it's quite technically complex with many sub-parts. Everything has to be right and it can be easily broken. At any rate, Robert is busy now but one of the goals of the next release of KStars is to have MacOS nightly releases as well since they're not nightly releases for all platforms except MacOS. So stay tuned!

In the screenshots the exposure in the queue table has incorrect display. I'll check this.

EDIT: OK September 2nd, forget my comment.

Hey there.

Similar experience here. I take flats like in Jasems video. Exp is 0,11 (shortest available for my MI CCD G2)
Pictures are taken, but no mesuaring is happening between the pictures.
And its crashing kstars on my mac sometimes.
Because you wrote one should get latest nightly. Do i have to install nightly build on my remote-Linux-machine or on my Mac??

EDIT: Installed nightly on my Linux-machine now. It is working there now when i start kstars local. It is still NOT working when working remote on my iMac.
Just for information.

Someone an idea, when i have to set the light of my flatfieldbox so low, that it´s not plain anymore? The problem is that i can not set a lower exposure than 0,110sec my moravian g2...

cheers
Niki

Only Windows & Linux nightlies are available now, we're still working on making MacOS nightly images as well.
