Hi

I'm having an issue installing Astrometry .fits files. I can't click the check boxes to download the files in the "Options" section.

Any ideas what could be the issue?

Have tried to use ASTAP instead or Astro.net online with limited success

I know it's broad question, but I can;'t think of what other info to give. Hoping it's a common user error

Thanks

I presume you're on Windows? because you can't download them there, only for MacOS/Linux. For Windows, you can use ANSVR as your offline solver along with Ekos.

This is an issue if the file astrometry.cfg is not found/preset. You should be able to fix it by finding it and correcting the file path in the settings. Or alternatively what I did was install astrometry.net from the repository.
apt install astrometry.net

Thank you. Once I pointed it to astrometry.cfg it all works!

Thanks again
