Question: I have downloaded the astrometry.net local copy to my laptop. How can Ekos to be told to use it?

What i said before about limitation to 60-90° is wrong :
In fact, you can also use radius option of solver to perform such an alignment (but it is slower...)

I really appreciate you took the time to make the video. I could watch it with the subtitles on and translated to spanish (youtube tool). Is now much clearer for me. I'd have to try it once the weather cooperates here.

This is one of the best responses I've received on the astronomy forums.

Best regards,

Alfredo

At a declination higher than 60 degrees could work from here.

How big would be the error with this approach?

I've done polar alignement without polaris yestetday with polar assistant, and it looks to work !....
I've started procedure with my mount pointing to zenith
Then on first frame ekos makes a warning and suggests to slew to polaris : answer no and be carefull...
I suggest to limit rotation to 15°...

It is certainly less accurate, but it works.
Will retry asap

Do think that stacking should be be a feature in Ekos/Kstars, that would be a great addition.

Thanks Gilles for sharing your work.
