I am at a loss.Using Celestron AUX v1.9.9 and indiserver v1.9.9 on a PI 4 Buster against a Nexstar SE 6/8 mount.

The dilemma is under kstars I can successfully SYNC but under either Ccdciel or scripting the SYNC does not happen.
Attached are log snippets with both kstars and ccdciel from the log indiserver -vvv

In both cases it stars with 0 entries in the alignment data
At the end of both cases the alignment data shows 1 entry

Any out there using Celestron AUX under anything other than Kstars?

Note: There are extra log messages I added to the CelestronAUX::Sync(double ra, double dec) routine, snippet of this code adds also included.

Anyone?

Note 1: I see the same no capability to sync if I use indi_setprop's with values for RA and DEC in snippet below
indi_setprop "Celestron AUX.ON_COORD_SET.SYNC=On"
indi_setprop "Celestron AUX.EQUATORIAL_EOD_COORD.RA;DEC=RA;DEC"

I started from scratch examining all messages from Kstars containing:
"queuing responsible for"
This provided the messages sent by the high level client.
Found the
CONFIG_PROCESS.CONFIG_LOAD=On
and
TIME_UTC.UTC;OFFSET=

were the missing culprits's, primarily the CONFIG_LOAD

So anyone using celestron_aux outside of Kstars, need to make sure at least the load of config is executed, of course after the config has been set and saved, eg: GEO coordinates, etc.
