No need to use Python in the latest KStars release, you can configure Align settings to use sextractor instead. Created attachment 131502 [details] attachment-2499-0.html Hi Jasem Many thanks for your speedy reply. OK - I tried Sextractor - it worked ... 1. OFFline 2. ONline Interestingly … Python worked the first time I attempted a plate-solve after booting up, but failed on the second attempt. So - a couple of questions :- 1. Why does Python work sometimes, but not others - do I have issues with my installation ? 2. What is the difference between using Python vs Sextractor ? Ive spent a lot of time researching but cant find anything that explains this. They each seem to interface to Astro.net <http://astro.net/> / ASTAP, or use offline data ? Ekos does a nice job of image capture … Do you have plans for Ekos to do image stacking as well ?

We are in the process of removing them actually. There would be no python in the next KStars release hopefully if all goes well. So you don't have to worry about sextractor/python again. Thanks Jasem,
Ok - so 3 questions for you :-
1. When do you expect the next release of Ekos ?
2. Is there a way to run Ekos without using KStars ?
I use a different planetarium pp - but prefer Ekos for scope control and image capture
3. Do you have plans for Ekos to do image stacking as well ?

We will not use Astropy in next release, so this is marked as unmaintained. |
