Hi,

I'm running Kstars on Windows 10 with INDI on my RPI4. Was wondering how I set up Sextractor with this config. I've tried ticking the check box in the Astrometry settings but solving fails and I have to revert back to the old way.

Previously, I have used the SExtractor setting with great success on the retail StellarMate (based on Raspberry Pi3).
However, I recently made a switch to use StellarMate OS on Pi4, and I have the same issue that you describe.

Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Use KStars on Windows 10 to connect to StellarMate (Pi4) using an equipment profile with Telescope Simulator, CCD Simulator and Astrometry.
2. Slew the telescope simulator to any star in your favorite constellation
3. Go to Align module in Ekos
4. Click Options...
5. For Astrometry.net check the checkbox with text "Use Sextractor not python" and click OK
6. On the alignment tab choose Astro.net in the bottom and select "Remote" in the drop down menu
7. Select "Slew to Target" in the top and click "Capture & Solve"
8. Observe that the solver fails 1 millisecond after the remote solver was started.


However, If I do this:
1. Go to "Options..." again
2. Remove the checkmark from "Use Sextractor not python" and click OK
3. Click "Capture & Solve" again

Then the solver completes in 5 seconds.

I also tried via VNC directly on the StellarMate (Pi4).
Here I have of course selected "Offline" next to Astro.net on the Align Ekos module.
And here it works fine with and without the Sextractor setting checked.

So it looks like it is a bug that appears when trying to do remote platesolve from Kstars on Windows 10 when the StellarMate OS is on a Pi4 (maybe also a Pi3 now? but I know that part has worked before)

It's fixed now and should be in nightly/beta channel soon.
