Last night I tried to run plate solver from my DIY push-to telescope, but I was unsuccessful. Instead an alert popped up saying telescope aperture and focal length needed to be entered.
How does one do this?
I have found a place to enter aperture and focal length under "settings -> configure observation logging -> list your equipment" but this doesn't seem right, (and I cannot check until next observing session). The FAQ mentions a "profile page" but I can't seem to find that. Finally, when starting EKOS, there is a message in the logging window that a config file was looked for but not found.
What am I missing?
Still running version 2.6.0 from Debian stable, Stretch. (am willing to upgrade to testing)
Normally you configure these in the telescope driver (options tab). Profile refers to Ekos profile. If you don't use a typical driver for your telescope you can always use Telescope Simulator and configure the parameters there. Don't worry about warning related to config file not found - as soon as you click Save on Options tab it will be found the next time.
