3.6.1 on OSX
I have added an additional train. From the sequence window, you don't know which train is what. It would be good to have another column to show that info.

Might not be possible right now, so just an idea for now... from the sequence window we should have the ability to run 2 train (cameras) at the same time.
ie: an option box to link 2 sequences to fire at the same time.

That could be supported in the future but it's not possible in 3.6.1

I think I need to delete the Optical Train config data. Where is it located on MaxOSX?
(KStars crashes whenever I try and create a new train)

I believe the info is located in userdb.sqlite in the directory
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/kstars

Thanks!
I deleted that file, and after restarting KStars and rebuilding my profile, all seems to be working now.

Hello,
I'm playing with optical train (kstars 3.6.1 on a Raspberry pi with ubuntu 22.04 arm64) and I've a problem.
I've two train, one is my main "imager" train with the filter wheel, focuser and main camera, the other is my "guide" train with just the guide cam and scope to guide.
When I first connect ekos, all the ekos modules where the imager train is selected have the select filter box empties. To populate it, I need te set my guide train active, and then come back to the imager train. I've to do it separatly for each modules (capture, focus, align)

I'm probably missing something, but is there any way to edit the optical train prior to connecting devices?

Maybe I'm doing this wrong, but on my Celeste 8" I have the optical train set with the native FL and ASI camera. If I add a reducer, is that a new optical train? ... or do I just edit the current Primary?

If you only ever want that train to have the reducer, then just edit it to include it. If you want 2 separate trains, with/without the reducer, I think 2 separate trains would be the correct approach.

Hello,

AS Ron, I would be able to edit the OT before Ekos connection. In this way you build a library of OT then you call the right one into the modules of Ekos.

Not sure it's really possible to set the trains before connecting to indi, because it's not possible to know the real devices behind an indi driver, and that's the case with multiple device drivers. For example the ZWO drivers can detects multiple zwo cameras, but it's impossible to know before starting/connecting the driver.
