Thank you Fred!

I found the optical train menu and managed to set the correct scope. Still somewhat confused about what the focal length settings in the mount and gphoto do, but I guess it doesn't matter. Unfortunately, it has been cloudy for a number of days so I haven't had a chance to work on my astrometry issues yet.

best,
Magnus

Hi everyone!

I am complete novice working on a kstars ekos setup using a star discovery mount, a canon t3i and a newtonian all connected to a rock pi. Here follows some confused questions.

One problem I have is that I seem to have two places where I can set my focal length, in the mount tab and in the gphoto tab. Moreover, when I set the focal length in the gphoto tab and save, it still reverts to focal length 300 aparture 50 everytime I restart. Otherwise I have no problems saving changes I make in those tabs.

I also have focal length settings in the align tab. However, they seem to always be set to 300/50 regardless of what I set in the mount and gphoto tab. So basically, my question is where am I supposed to input my aparture and focal length for the align module to get the right settings?

Another problem I had tonight trying to capture and solve was crashes due to segmentation fault and sometimes to many files open. I fixed one, many files related error, by turning of sound, but it was not enough to get away from the many files error altogether. Any thoughts on that?

Also, when using astrometry.net locally must I have astrometry added as an aux in my indi profile, or does ekos handle that for me automatically?
