I’m fully updated to the current versions. I can’t get kstars to use the ‘mount updates kstars’. It’s selected, my mount has the data (10u, shows accurately in the driver settings), but it never gets populated from ekos to kstars. 

Is it a bug? User error? Just buy a gps dongle and call it good?

Thanks guys,
Chris

 

In the logs I can see where the mount passes the data to kstars... it's like kstars ignored it.

It says it does this, but when you pop over to kstars, it's still gleefully running at Greenwich.

Any ideas? Also, if I use a GPS service.... is it actually going to try and back feed into my mount ("GPS updates KSTARS... all INDI devices"). I'd like to avoid setting my location/time everytime I load kstars, but I also don't want anything messing with my mount.
