Thank you! Compiles from source again.
If you have a second... what could I have done to figure that out myself?

Assuming those images are displayed at the same relative scale, I guess that it implies Saturn is over exposed somewhat by comparison. Looking at the background suggests that your exposure was longer for saturn and therefore subject to more atmospheric distortion (seeing).

My 2 cents, but others would have better answers.

I probably am mis-understanding your issue. Is it simply, that in the new way, you create a train for your primary camera, and then create a train for your secondary camera e.g. your guide camera (which you can rename from Secondary to Guide, if you want to). Then you choose the primary train for your main imaging, and the secondary (Guide) train for your guiding. If they are setup correctly, that's all you have to do. (the primary train definition makes no reference to your guide camera. There are links somewhere on here for how it's setup)

I fixed this problem by completely reinstalling Unbuntumate and staring over from scratch using the Rob Lancaster's AstroPi3 setup environment. Whatever was messed up, was undoubtably something I did. I side effect was that Ubuntu is now 22.04.3 LTS which I believe is one version newer than what I had.

Given an internet search for ' "Sky Adventurer" GTI ' returns no results, I suspect that's correct.

I'd be a little afraid of doing that. Without doing my own research, is there a fool-proof way of going back to the original setup if things go south?

Hi,
Lately I'm encountering permission issues (I suspect) with either the stable 3.6.4 or bleeding edge 3.6.7 Kstars and ubuntumate 22.04.3 LTS on a Mele Quieter 3C.
File dialogs e.g. File -> Open Image or Analyze -> Read From File show a dialog window in which the Places list is populated but no files are shown.

In contrast, it appears to work normally if I launch Kstars using sudo (no issue here: noting that upon which it asks for the initialization data setup, having not found it's default data under the sudo launch).

I suspect it's a system update that did something, but does anyone have suggestions on what to check / fix the issue?

Thanks

Sounds good. :) When you say your lights are 10MB instead of 32MB, is that zstd+sh vs fits?
