platesolve without mount specified possible ? was created by Ed Defesche

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to platesolve without having to specify a mount (becuse it's integrated only there)
I use an RPI3 with Ubuntu Mate on an az-eq6 and everything works great !.
But I also own a StarAdventurer on which I would like to do platesolve forpolar-allagn and aiming the scope..


Any advice is greatly appreiciated

You can select the telescope as "Telescope Simulator" and adjust the focal length accordingly until the FOV matches what you have. In KStars 2.9.5, you don't even have to adjust the focal length since FOV is calculated from plate solver, not telescope focal length.

It was supposed to be today but we are still having Mac build issues, so it was delayed to tomorrow (hopefully!)
