SUMMARY
ASTAP version 0.9.299 provides errors and warnings. Suggest to use them in the Ekos reporting.

Errors

Errors are reported in the exit code after execution (errorlevel)

The same errors are textual reported in the output file .ini behind label “error=”

‌

Warnings

Warning are reported in the solution .ini file behind label “warning=” The .ini file is always written.

The warning(s) are also reported in the .wcs output file containing the solved fits header only. They are written with key “warning =” The .wcs file is only written after a successful solve.

Comment 2 han.k 2019-11-14 16:43:18 UTC 
asem,

We have tested again on Jean-Claude Mac. ASTAP solving works on real images, not on his simulated images. 

The images size of Jean-Claude in degrees are pretty small about 0.3 degrees. The simulated stars are not recognized by ASTAP. Maybe they are too big to be recognized as star. 

Solving an simulated image image of 1,27 by 1.02 degrees works here. 

Is it possible to reduce the star size in the simulation?

The simulator has many parameters that can be configured. We've been using it for many years with astrometry.net without any issues.
Comment 4 han.k 2019-11-16 08:40:00 UTC 
Jasem, thanks for the feedback, The remark about the simulator was misplaced here, I couldn't delete/edit. The topic was started as a feature request to make use of new error and warning messages of ASTAP.

They should perhaps be filed with StellarSolver now.
