Yes
You should also enable verbose logs on astrometry options : it gives the exact focal length when there is a difference with the one you give.

OK, but what exactly is "Astrometry Options"?

It is in an unexpected place. When you go to the Astrometry tab and then click options in the lower right, there you can enable it.

Whoa... that could be very useful, especially if you aren't quite sure of FL. How bout this then... plate solve with your guide scope to get accurate FL for that too. Or how bout we script it to offer to update the stored scopes...now that would be slick!

I don't see any switch to enable verbose logging there. What I have to do is this:
1. In the Ekos Setup tab click LOGs, then Verbose in Verbosity: and Auxiliary in Drivers: [Edit: (that's where I have placed the astrometry.net service)]
2. Go to the Indi Astrometry tab and check whether Debug is now enabled. "Messages" should be ticked.

Unless Auxiliary is ticked in the Ekos Setup tab first, the Debug field in Indi Astrometry is blocked.

Then enable verbose in the popup:

Actually this option was just removed like yesterday since it is redundant. If you enable "Logging" for "Alignment" in Ekos Logs, it shall have the same effect. So reduced two options to one.
