I have a new DMG for everyone to try.
One of the most important changes is a very new one. I added support for cameras for which you do not have a driver available on the local machine. There are several that we either cannot or do not know how to build on OS X (or Linux for that matter). There are also several that the Cloudmakers have built but we can't seem to get it right. So I rewrote some KStars code that will allow us to have the xml files present so that we can remotely connect to these sorts of devices even though we don't have the binary driver on the local machine. My code will basically prevent these drivers from appearing in Ekos in the profile editor in Local Mode, but in Remote mode, they will all show up but have a special icon.
**** Please note: This does mean that If you want to "locally" host a ZWO Camera, an SBIG camera, a DSI Camera, or several others on your Mac, you will probably want to use the Cloudmaker's Indiserver app to host them. In KStars/Ekos, you would connect to them as a "remote" connection even though they are on the local machine. If somebody wants to work on how we can get some of these cameras (which we know for a fact do actually compile on OS X) to compile using our build script, please feel free to try! Just to make it clear, my fix will make it possible to host these devices on something like a raspberry pi and connect to them if the driver is not available on your computer. It also makes it possible to connect to a Cloudmaker's Indiserver that is serving up the devices even though you might not have the driver in kstars.
Additions/Improvements in this version of the DMG
This version adds an astrometry options editor to make that easier to use.
The equatorial Grid Routines have been overhauled and are now much more accurate.
It adds pinch zooming capability to HFR Plots
It also adds range dragging to the Guide and HFR Plots
It adds the Dark Library viewer in Ekos options.
The default size button for fitsfiewer now has a more accurate algorithm.
Jasem's Polar Alignment Helper now works very well.
Also he did some great work with Live Video sub framing and DSLR options.
And much more!!
