Description Jean-Claude 2017-07-10 14:21:40 UTC

The Device Manager dialog show a gray (inactive) Device button.
Impossible to select my local scope, cameras, focuser.
In the same configuration I could connect all my gear under macOS but not under Win10.
What is wrong ?

It is inactive because you cannot use LOCAL INDI device manager on Windows. Please use Ekos. Launch Ekos either from Tools --> Ekos, or Ctrl + K, or from Ekos icon in the Tool Bar (dome-like Icon).

Thanks Jasem, it did work.

I am discovering KStars and I find it beautiful !

I am a sort of beginner in astronomy and normally working on a Mac.

This is the reason why I went to TheSkyX. But I find this software 
unpleasant and very heavy (on top of very expensive).

Best regards,
