I have this issue too: not only I receive a Preview window, but after this KStars crashes. This is a new issue with 2.9.8

Please check nightly and report back.

Seems to be working fine now with the nightly version I installed this morning.

Is there a place to download a nightly build for macOS? I have the same problem. thank you.

I have the same issue on MacOS. Flats fail with automated ADU value, then after it captures the first one, EKOS crashes. Is there a way to grab the nightly for MacOS? Or publish the fixes to the next version.

We need to get KStars to build on KDE build farm. MacOS is the last remaining build and it's quite technically complex with many sub-parts. Everything has to be right and it can be easily broken. At any rate, Robert is busy now but one of the goals of the next release of KStars is to have MacOS nightly releases as well since they're not nightly releases for all platforms except MacOS. So stay tuned!

In the screenshots the exposure in the queue table has incorrect display. I'll check this.

EDIT: OK September 2nd, forget my comment.

Hey there.

Similar experience here. I take flats like in Jasems video. Exp is 0,11 (shortest available for my MI CCD G2)
Pictures are taken, but no mesuaring is happening between the pictures.
And its crashing kstars on my mac sometimes.
Because you wrote one should get latest nightly. Do i have to install nightly build on my remote-Linux-machine or on my Mac??

EDIT: Installed nightly on my Linux-machine now. It is working there now when i start kstars local. It is still NOT working when working remote on my iMac.
Just for information.

Someone an idea, when i have to set the light of my flatfieldbox so low, that it´s not plain anymore? The problem is that i can not set a lower exposure than 0,110sec my moravian g2...

cheers
Niki

Only Windows & Linux nightlies are available now, we're still working on making MacOS nightly images as well.

Same here: on Mac OS flats don't capture with Kstars 2.9.8.
It says it's taking them, but it's not
Need to trick Ekos into thinking it's taking Lights, and just change the name of the file with the "prefix" option.
But in the FITS file header it still states "light", so to use them in PI you have to either manually add them to the BPP script or change the FITS header file by file. With 80 per night it's a sting in the tail, to say the least.
Tried installing Kstars 3.0.0, and it's even worse.
Additionally, while in 2.9.8 my Atik 383L+'s sensor was wrongly catalogued as 3326x2504, in 3.0.0 it's correctly listed with its proper dimensions: 3362x2537.
Vary nice, but I just rebuilt my dark and bias library using the smaller version.
I guess a fix fro one thing breaks something else.
Still, with all its quirks (and there are A LOT) the KStars/Ekos combo is the only thing that really works on a Mac (barring PHD2, but that's another story...).
I even took the plunge and bought a StellarMate!
Please, keep things working and solve the flat issue
Thank you
Antonio

I'll test this tonight with Atik on MacOS and report back.

It worked flawlessly with Atik. See video for evidence.
