Thanks! Progress has been made!

However, why is the mountain upside down? EKos seems to default to this. And no, it's not that the camera is upside down. It isn't. In fact, I found that CCDCiel, with its larger window was a better way to dial in the original approximate daylight focus. CCDCiel makes the image right-side up. I found the "flip vertical" option but this only worked for completed previews. If I tried that option in a preview loop, it would always go back to upside down. Is there a way to make right-side up the default?

Also, CCDCiel allows debayering in the preview. It's not very good, the colors are off, but there's something. I did not find such an option in KStars.

Anyway, I will be eager to try observing in the night sky with this setup. I hope the focus will be good enough. It's still not great.
