It's not a typo. In principle, anyone can define any property as they wish. However, in INDI Library (this site), the standard properties are defined here: indilib.org/develop/developer-manual/101...dard-properties.html

So these is what must be followed.

It does, but not everything. IIRC, it contains 4206 and above.

I mean the complete solver options in the alignment module toward the bottom, you can copy/paste those. Or if you can just attach the detailed log, it should contain the solver command with options as well.

I have all the indexfiles for narro medium 2' to 1400'. The required ones and also the recommended ones.

This is the link to one solved image:

nova.astrometry.net/user_images/2428034#annotated


I saw that the FOV stood at 60' X 40'. It should be 65' X 45'. Not knowing if this makes any difference?

If you checked the INDI server output, you would have seen that it said this:

1. Not sure, maybe "less is more" when it comes to plate-solving? You can opt to only send JPGs to the online server which would reduce the time to upload significantly.
2. This should be fixed in 3.0.0 nightly, are you using that?
3. Not sure. IIRC, there is an option to always delete from SD card to prevent such "ghost" images. If there is a reliable way to replicate this let me know.
4. Can't say much without logs.

Since SkyWatcher and Celestron mounts are from the same company, I wonder if we can use passthru commands for pulse guiding like we do for celestron in the synscan driver? I might be able to conjure up an experimental patch to see if this can work out.

I think that's also a good time to ask if anyone wants to moderate the gallery section as well. Any volunteers?
