In any case, you can install other more fresh OS (Ubuntu 16.04, Linux Mint and so on)...
You can try my open project Astronomy Linux

It looks like a problem with DistroAstro. DistroAstro is no longer supported or updated by its author I believe. You can try Ubnutu Astronomy or just plain Ubuntu 16.04

Thank you all. Everything worked as you told me in the new version of Lubuntu/Kstars

Cheers and CS!

Aaaah, sorry, I just read the first posts. This one does not work anymore:
launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/+archive/ppa/+files/gsc_1.0.orig.tar.gz

You can install gsc from PPA. But if you want the code, then here: code.launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/gsc/+git/gsc

Thanks, great. I am using Raspbian, not Ubuntu. So I am afraid I have to build it from the sources.

Hi all,
I had the same problem with GSC installed under /usr/local. If GSCDAT and GSCBIN are not set as environment, they are set to default values under /usr/share/... .

In this case it is necessary to set the environment variables manually:
GSCBIN=/usr/local/share/GSC/bin
GSCDAT=/usr/local/share/GSC

Cheers

Just a quick note on this.

When installing gsc it's a good idea to install it on the system where the indiserver resides, i.e. the pc or sbc at the pier if you are configured that way.

cheers!

Hi all,

I have installed the Stellarmate software on a Raspberry PI 3B+. I have managed to get it working with a HEQ5-mount and a Canon EOS 700D. There are still some minor issues, but I will send a message about that later on.

Due to cloudy skies at the moment I want to learn the software better by using the GSC database and the CCD simulator. I have installed GSC database with the command :
sudo apt-get install gsc
I can find the folder /usr/share/GSC

I also added
GSCDAT = /usr/share/GSC
GSCBIN = /usr/share/GSC/bin
as environment variables.

When I start Ekos and try to shoot a picture I still get the error :
GSC Got no stars is gsc installed ...

I probably missed a step. Can somebody help me?

kind regards,
Gunther
